Is there a way to change the default viewing layout so that the workspace display screen can be viewed in a separately detached window? Its really frustrating how both the instruction, coding, and display panes are all crammed together. I’m unable to view the display screen in its entirety which makes viewing results of coding changes hard to view without constantly having to scroll around. Please advise.

What device are you using? No, customization is not possible in codecademy editor
for codecademy, a reasonable screen size is recommended
I’m on a desktop (Chrome browser) with two side-by-side 24" dell screens but the Codecademy layout is still not ideal. Every other coding site I’ve used (and am using) either shrinks the web display screen, or allows the user to separate screens. For this reason alone, I’ll be canceling my Pro subscription and subscribing to TeamTreehouse.

you can fiddle with the width of the different columns and make the text-editor full screen, but there is no way to get them below each other. Its a design choice made by codecademy.
Hi! I know this is a super old post but incase it helps anyone who ends up here like me–
If you are on Safari browser (at least for mac) you can right click the website example and it will give you an option to ‘open frame in new window’ if you select it will open a full size version of the example site that continues to update as long as you refresh the page. refreshing it is a bit annoying but not nearly as annoying as having to constantly resize lol. it may be available on other browsers as well, but it doesnt give me the option on Chrome.

Man, how is this still an issue? This whole site/format is starting to feel like a backwater. Why am I still paying for a coding website that won’t let you use multiple monitors for web development in 2024?!
Nothing will happen if you post here about course content/bugs/suggestions.
