While I appreciate the default size of the box, I’m always expanding it, and some of my users have asked if there’s a way to automatically expand it by default. I can’t find an option in the admin that seems to allow for it. Is there an easy way to make it auto-expanded? (And by preference, to still have the button to contract it if someone wants)
