# Mini View 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`](https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/components/drawer/templates#itemtemplate) or a [`Template`](https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/components/drawer/templates#template), the template controls the item content. In that case, render the text conditionally based on the `Expanded` value. > caption Mini View behavior ![drawer expanded example](https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/assets/e6ef315441f601c31bee718bf2907788/drawer-mini-mode-overview.jpg) > caption Observe the behavior of the MiniMode. ## See Also * [Drawer Mini View Demo](https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/drawer/mini)
