How to stop right sidebar from popping up?

Hello! Recently a right sidebar started showing up when I select a file -- showing the entire document. I don't want this. Can someone please tell me how to stop it from popping up? Many thanks in advance.

    Hey Beth_10 - sorry to jump in here and thanks for the visual aid!

     

    If you click on the icon to the right of the page (with the little arrow next to it), you should be able to choose from 'Quick View' and 'Full Screen'. Could you give it a go and let me know if it helps?

    Hey jpgraham, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Would you mind clarifying which one of our platforms you're using when this happens? 

     

    Do you use our website, desktop app or mobile app? If you have any screenshots demonstrating this, in order for me to have a visual, that'd help. 

     

    Keep me posted!
