See "The Left" and "The Right".

The Left is much narrower than The Right, but now it doesn't allow to resize it.

One time it worked and allowed me to resize it narrower than it is, but after reinstall, I can't resize it.

Screenshots made from same version of photoshop.

I'm using small screen, and it's too big.

Windows

Hi @newbiehere, have you updated to the newest release, 23.5? You should be able to resize any panel by putting your cursor on the side until it turns into a horizontal double arrow, and then dragging left or right with your mouse. If this isn't working, fully quit all Adobe apps. Launch the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and end all Adobe background processes. Now, launch Creative Cloud desktop, and Open Photoshop from there. Does the problem still happen? If so, try resetting your Preferences. The instructions are here. Let us know how it goes!

ETA: You might also try resetting or selecting another Workspace (Window > Workspace) to see if the panels go back to normal size.

The tab "Learn" don't allow me to reduce size.

Partially solved.

Thanks, @newbiehere for showing us the video of your problem. In Preferences, uncheck “Show Rich Tooltips” to see if that removes the Learn tab that's interfering with your panels. Did you also try to select another Workspace to see if that helps? As @Semaphoric points out, if you have too many tabs in one group, you'll only be able to reduce the width so far.
