Permanently fix the filter panel in SharePoint Online Library

Hi! 
Maybe someone knows how can I permanently fix the filter panel in SharePoint Online Library?

I would like this panel to always remain open with its settings, without being able to close it when switching to another library. Maybe I need to use SPFx. I don't know where to start.

  • Hi Pavel,

    Unfortunately, there is no way to implement this in a supported way.
    It may be technically possible to achieve using SPFx, but I would not recommend this unless you are fully aware of the risks and understand that Microsoft can make changes that can break the customisation

      Pavel48n0sh Unfortunately, this is not possible using SharePoint default capabilities as there are no settings available to change the default behavior (expand/collapse) of Filters pane in list/library.

      Similar threads:

      1. Can we expand the filter pane by default to a SharePoint library?
      2. Can we expand the filter pane by default to a SharePoint document library?

      Thank you Joel!
      Yes, I understand that changes are possible from Microsoft. For now, I only want to permanently open the filter panel on the library. I'm considering using Command Set extension. I would be glad if it is any ideas how to implement in Command Set extension.
