Updated over a week ago

The Plug sidebar is a convenient way to keep your wallet open while browsing other websites. It lets you perform actions in Plug, like checking balances, approving transactions, or sending tokens, without needing to switch tabs or reopen the extension.

How to enable or disable the sidebar view:

  1. In the Plug extension, click the square icon in the top right corner
    ​

  2. This will open Plug in sidebar mode on the side of your browser
    ​

  3. To return to normal view, click the square icon again

Sidebar mode is ideal for interacting with dApps, signing transactions, or navigating the Web3 ecosystem while staying connected to your wallet.
