As of Blender 3.0 you can now just right-click any header and select “Close”. You can also now join any neighbouring areas no matter how they differ in size.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I JUST OPENED LIKE 30 WINDOWS TRYING TO GET ONE CLOSED THIS REALLY

[shapkofil]

You saved my laptop from a 5 story drop.

You are a massive lifesaver. You deserve way more praise than this

[robestey]

OMG Thank You - I actually got so frustrated I just "shut er down" without saving and restarted from scratch. lol.

Thank you... i have to watch a Tutorial while watching a tutorial, people work so fast when trying to teach you things, .. and edit the videos with cut's, i got lost, like how..

I’m quite late but I’m on geometry nodes doing a donut tut but then I merge the wrong tabs and now I can’t see my donut all it is, is just numbers and letters 😅😅

[oshinoyoshida]

thanks that tip is great but for me with v3.2 it crashes after closing 3 or 4 windows no matter what way i close them - i think closing panels really needs a rework because it's a nightmare

[jn]

i accidentally joined the wrong window and I can't get back what should I do

[traveldoor]

Crazy Blender... I opened 20 Windows by trying to close one...

[meatlegproductions]

Guess why I'm here! nearly punched my computer!

[TownleyVM]

Life saver, so frustrating. Why can't they just put an X.

[ElizaaChuu]

Ugh theres no "join areas" and I literally have 15 tabs open. What a joke.

[reubensullins]

DEAR GOD THANK I had about 20 windows open and I really was about to scrap my project to get rid of those windows. You saved my project and earned my subscription!

[simonralston]

Thank you! Had about 17 windows open and couldn't figure it out. Why did they not just put an X in corner?

[Yorksbiker]

Thank you, you saved me from going crazy!

[faresabusnaina]

this helped me a lot, I kept opening and opening until I realized "This is going nowhere is it'' :\

[FPChris]

So ridiculous. I guess right click on the panel header >CLOSE would be WAY too easy. FFS

[cheterete]

I think blender only wants to show the "join" option when it wants, I don't know what am i supposed to do and it makes me angry, but I remember blender is a free software.

[enthusiastvoid]

thank you so much im new to blender and didnt know how to close it
