    How do you change right hand viewer/canvas to full screen while editing to check work without having to shift viewer to extreme left and drag across screen to make full screen?

    Step1 resize all the windows to how you would like them
    Step2 save this as a custom layout
    step3 right click in the thin area just above the timeline, in between the sequence tabs and the snap and link buttons. choose “show Button List.” Drop down “Window Menu” Now drag the “Custom Layout” icon to where the snap and link buttons are.

    I would also put standard layout, and which ever other layouts you use in there.

    Also/alternatively if you don’t want to add the buttons to the bar, once you have the custom layout made, you can use “SHIFT+U” to switch to the custom layout.
