To hide or close a script pane when users initiate a script from a button, you'll need to use scripting or programming, depending on the context in which you want to achieve this. Here are some general steps you can follow, but keep in mind that the exact implementation may vary depending on the software or platform you're working with:
Identify the Script Pane: Determine how the script pane is displayed or opened in your application or interface. This could be a pop-up window, a modal dialog, a separate tab, or any other interface element.
Create a Button: Ensure you have a button or user interface element that triggers the script when clicked. This button will also serve as the trigger to hide or close the script pane.
Scripting or Programming: Depending on the programming language or framework you're using, you'll need to add code to the button's action handler. The code will include instructions to initiate the script and then hide or close the script pane.
