# Navigate Discord

CordEx takes advantage of Discord’s **native interface** to let you trade while staying connected with your community.

1. **Minimize & Switch Channels**
   * When CordEx is opened, it occupies the **text channel section** of Discord.
   * You can seamlessly **click other channels** — CordEx will **minimize** to a smaller window so your trading isn’t interrupted.
   * To return CordEx to its full size, **double-click** the minimized window or click the **arrow button**.
2. **Full-Height Mode**
   * Use the **“Hide Chat” button** (arrow pointing downwards) to hide the channel/chat panel and expand CordEx to **full height**.
   * This maximizes the space for your **charts, positions, and trading panel**, making it easier to analyze the markets.
   * To bring back the chat panel, click **“Show Chat”** — giving you quick access to your server’s channels and messages without leaving your trade.
