Hi Azeez, I see, yeah, that is true in the case of extensibility, but if the sole purpose is for to simply hide the panel, the most adopted approach - as I've experienced - is the use of a small button (I agree it should be a better one than earlier, should be smaller), or a thin line in the middle which has arrows which separate the two panels.
