When moving the chat to the right hand side, it docks into place. However when I close the Web IDE, and reopen it again the GitLab Duo view does not reappear.  ### Workaround To restore the panel: - Invoke a Duo action from the context menu to reopen the view. - Reset the view from the command palette (`SHIFT + Command + P` \> `View:Reset View Locations`) - Enable the secondary panel via `File > View > Appearance > Secondary Side Bar` ### Possible solution Add a button to the Web IDE's top toolbar that opens Duo Chat. The Web IDE persists the preference of moving Duo Chat to the right side panel. The UX problem is that users don't have a way of opening Duo Chat because there isn't an equivalent toolbar button to the one that appears on the left sidebar. Other tools solve this problem by adding a toolbar button, for example: {width=1920 height=228} <!--Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work.
