Hello, @AnimalShop,

To change the default behavior in Elementor so that all the widgets in the Elements panel are closed by default, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Elementor editor by navigating to the desired page or post in WordPress and clicking on the “Edit with Elementor” button.

2. Once the Elementor editor loads, look for the panel on the left-hand side of the screen, which contains the Elements (widgets) that you can add to your page.

3. At the top of the Elements panel, you should see a small arrow pointing to the right. Click on this arrow to collapse all the widget categories and close all the widget options.

4. After collapsing the widget categories, click on the gear icon located at the top-right corner of the Elements panel. This will open the panel settings.

5. In the panel settings, you will find an option called “Panel Start Open.” Toggle this option to disable it. When the option is disabled, the Elements panel will start with all widget categories collapsed.

6. Once you have disabled the “Panel Start Open” option, close the panel settings by clicking on the gear icon again.

That’s it! Now, when you open the Elements panel in Elementor, all the widget categories should be closed, and you can expand only the specific category you need to use.
