# Positioning

> Configure automatic positioning and sizing of Alex Sidebar

Positioning settings help you create an optimal layout between Alex Sidebar and Xcode, maximizing your screen real estate and workflow efficiency.

## Positioning Settings

### Auto-Snap Alex next to Xcode

Automatically positions Alex Sidebar adjacent to your Xcode window, creating a seamless side-by-side development environment.

**Features:**

* Snaps to the right edge of Xcode
* Maintains position when Xcode moves
* Adjusts automatically when switching between Xcode windows

### Let Alex fill rest of the screen

When enabled, Alex Sidebar expands to use all available horizontal screen space not occupied by Xcode.

**Benefits:**

* Maximizes chat area for better readability
* Uses screen space efficiently
* Automatically adjusts when Xcode is resized

### Match height with Xcode

Synchronizes Alex Sidebar's height with your Xcode window for a clean, professional appearance.

**Results in:**

* Perfectly aligned top and bottom edges
* Consistent visual layout
* Unified workspace appearance

## How to Configure

1. Open Settings (gear icon in the top right)
2. Navigate to **Workspace Configuration** → **Window Management**
3. Enable your preferred positioning options:
   * **Auto-Snap Alex next to Xcode** - For automatic side-by-side placement
   * **Let Alex fill rest of the screen** - For maximum workspace utilization
   * **Match height with Xcode** - For aligned window heights

<Note>
  These settings work best when used together. Enable all three for the best integration with Xcode.
