Mini View
Updated on Oct 19, 2026
When the Drawer is collapsed, it is not visible at all by default. You can, however, leave a small hint for the user that shows the icons of the items so they can navigate with just a single action.
To enable the mini view when the drawer is collapsed (minimized), set the MiniMode parameter to true. By default this parameter is set to false.
The icon-only behavior applies to the Drawer's built-in item rendering. If you use an ItemTemplate or a Template, the template controls the item content. In that case, render the text conditionally based on the Expanded value.
