Increase the width of the left-hand navigation panel to show full library names - SharePoint Team site

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to increase the width of the left-hand navigation panel to show the full library names in a SharePoint Team site?

At present, the names of the libraries linked to this panel are not shown in full, unless the user hovers over the names.

Thanks,

Nishanth Chakkere Ramesh

Hi @Nishanth Chakkere,

Unfortunately, you cannot increase/decrease the width of left-hand navigation in SharePoint online modern experience. This is by default.

Personally, I completely agree with you, this is indeed a good addition to the current features of SharePoint if users can customize the width of left-hand navigation. Thank you for bringing things to our attention. We sincerely recommend you go to SharePoint Feedback community to provide your feedback: SharePoint · Community (microsoft.com) or upvote the similar requirements to yours like this Team site template - left navigation needs improvements. This is the best platform to let related team hear from you and make the products and services better for you and others.

Thanks.
