Turn channels on or off from the channel selector dropdown (hover the channel header to open it) – each channel gets its own panel when enabled. Drag the divider between panels to resize them. Sizes will reset if you toggle panels on/off or refresh the page. Use the ▲/▼ buttons on a panel header to reorder panels.
