When working on complex files with deeply nested layer structures, the fixed left sidebar creates a significant workspace constraint. On a single monitor, navigating the layer hierarchy competes directly with canvas space. On multi-monitor setups, there is no native way to move the layers panel to a second screen so the full canvas width can be used on the primary display.
I would like to be able to detach the layers panel and open it as a standalone, resizable window, either on the same monitor or on a secondary display. This would allow me to keep the full canvas in view while navigating and inspecting the layer tree, particularly on large or structurally complex files where frequent layer panel interaction is required.
This would benefit designers working on multi-monitor setups, those managing files with deep nesting or high layer counts, and anyone who finds the fixed sidebar a bottleneck during detailed inspection or handover work.
