# Allow admins to resize sidebar in form editor

## Problem

The form editor's left sidebar has a fixed width, which can cause long field labels and control text to be truncated. Administrators have no way to expand the sidebar to see the full text of these controls.

## How it works

The form editor now includes a draggable resize handle between the left sidebar and the main form content area. Administrators can drag the handle left or right to adjust the sidebar width to suit their needs.

* **Drag to resize**: A vertical handle appears between the sidebar and the form canvas. Hovering over it shows a resize cursor, and dragging adjusts the sidebar width in real time.
* **Minimum width**: The sidebar cannot be shrunk below 100px, ensuring controls remain usable.
* **Preview mode**: The resize handle is hidden when previewing the form.
* **Session-only**: The custom width is not persisted across page refreshes -- it resets to the default width on reload.
