# Focus mode: hide distracting UI elements

> Focus mode provides a clean reading experience by hiding the reference panel and top navigation bar while you review submissions.

Focus mode allows you to hide distracting UI elements from the reader as you review a submission. It gives you a highly focused reading experience. This is ideal when you want to review work manually or go through a few AI inline suggestions.

When you activate Focus mode, everything on the reference panel is hidden. The top navigation bar is also removed from view.
