Is there any way to change or filter the items shown in the left-most pane?

I have no need for "Sources," and am wondering if I can reclaim any of that vertical space by just dropping the whole item.

What I'm currently putting into 'sources' is things useful for everyone who's playing (such as naming conventions - my universe is based on ancient Rome, and they had very specific rules about names), the name list, background stuff about how the world works because it's very different from the modern world, what arms and armour are available (because obviously Rome doesn't have things like full plate).

Elsewhere, I've recorded other useful stuff like "rolls to hit armour class 0" and a list of armour classes in case I get confused, so that I don't have to look it up in a book. I play AD&D 2e where these things are all over the place, and it looks a bit bad if I have to ask the players to look them up.

Open the Navigation Pane Options menu (the Hammer and Wrench icon in the tab at the top of the left panel, or F6) and change the selected option in the "Empty Group Visibility" submenu. You probably want "Hide Always".

Aside: The term Filter is used in Realm Works as a way to search for things by restricting what's being shown in the Navigation Pane. (The magnifying glass icon in the Navigation Pane tab, or Ctrl-Shift-F.)

"Hide Always" worked perfectly, thanks.
