Working with the Slide-out Left Panel

The “slide-out” left panel is a feature that enables you to reveal the left panel of an outer, fluid wrapper (master/detail component, fluid activity guide, or fluid navigation collection) when the currently displayed component includes its own left panel.

When the slide-out left panel is enabled and an inner component without its own left panel is displayed, the left panel of the outer, fluid wrapper is displayed normally; there is no need for a slide-out left panel.
