This is something that was necessary for the AI Wizard and <strong>programmatic model updates in general</strong>.</p> <p>Visually, it was fine when the page data tab was present to maintain the width of the right sidebar. With templates, the sidebar vanishes momentarily, which isn't ideal.</p></blockquote> <p> from <a href="https://www.drupal.org%20https://www.drupal.org/project/canvas/issues/3541037#comment-16276897">this comment</a></p> <h3 id="proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <h3 id="ui-changes">User interface changes</h3> > Related issue: [Issue #3541037](https://www.drupal.org/node/3541037) > Related issue: [Issue #3549318](https://www.drupal.org/node/3549318) > Related issue: [Issue #3541000](https://www.drupal.org/node/3541000)
