 * I would like to make the taxonomy columns a little bigger and content area a 
   little smaller, as I have a lot of hierarticle categories, which is difficult
   to read as there are some will long names…

 * Hi [@casperroux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casperroux/) – I’d definitely
   like to see if I can help out with this. The specifics of how to do this _might_
   be dependent on your theme and how it has things set up.
 * Are you setting up the taxonomy columns manually in the Site Editor with a block
   theme? or is it something the theme is doing automatically?
 * If you could please share a link to the page where that is happening – I’ll be
   able to take a look and see how it is all happening 🙂

 * No thank you – please don’t ever share access details on the forums here 🙂
 * Thanks for the screenshot – that’s very helpful. I see now that you mean the 
   columns within the editor screen itself.
 * Whilst it is not possible to change the column widths in the editor – what you
   _can_ do is move that Taxonomy panel over to the larger column on the left.
 * That can be done by clicking and dragging on the title/top of the panel. Here’s
   a video to see it in action:

 * thank you… but I know how to do that, and is not what I want… 
   I want to resize
   both columns and also lock the widgets so users can not drag or hide them. I 
   will look another solution

 * Thanks for clarifying [@casperroux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casperroux/).
   It definitely sounds like what you’re hoping to do is modify the overall structure
   of the WP-Admin editor screen (which is something beyond what the Classic Editor
   plugin can help handle). So I’ll mark this issue as resolved for now.
 * Best of luck with it all!
