Click the logo in the upper left to refresh the current view and select the active Timeflow object. This is a quick way to access the settings.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
Refreshing the view rebuilds the object hierarchy and re-runs setup for all channels and behaviors. This can be helpful when troubleshooting to fix playback or initialization issues. &#x20;
{% endhint %}

Use the small toggle button in the upper right corner ![](https://2067910529-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC3dOuetlQfYgK5FPUKgn%2Fuploads%2FOmUOJr0QBpesigzQ7iUz%2FIsMinimizedOff.png?alt=media\&token=1fec05c5-7696-467f-897a-fdff2e144175) to show or hide the lower panels.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
When using Timeflow for playback only, it helps to hide the main view to reduce screen clutter and improve performance (i.e. fewer UI draw calls).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **Control + Alt + Shift + W** to toggle the minimized state.
{% endhint %}

## Floating Window Minimization

When the Timeflow window is undocked from the layout, minimizing collapses the Timeflow view to a small vertical size. Then when un-minimizing, the view is restored to it previous placement and size.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that this only works for an undocked view, since while in a layout the size cannot be dynamically changed.
{% endhint %}

### Preference: Minimize to Bottom

If this preference setting is enabled, the Timeflow view will reposition to the bottom of the screen when minimized. Or if this option is off, then the view will minimize in place without repositioning.
