<!--Description-->
This policy setting shows or hides the Details Pane in File Explorer.  

- If you enable this policy setting and configure it to hide the pane, the Details Pane in File Explorer is hidden and cannot be turned on by the user.  

- If you enable this policy setting and configure it to show the pane, the Details Pane is always visible and cannot be hidden by the user. 

> [!NOTE]
> This has a side effect of not being able to toggle to the Preview Pane since the two cannot be displayed at the same time.  

- If you disable, or do not configure this policy setting, the Details Pane is hidden by default and can be displayed by the user. 

This is the default policy setting.

<!--/Description-->
> [!TIP]
> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable.  For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
> 
> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as &lt;Format&gt;chr&lt;/Format&gt;. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
> 
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).
