# Resize the compose box
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When composing a long message, it can be helpful to expand the compose
 | 
						|
box to display more text and avoid distractions. Note that the compose
 | 
						|
box also stretches automatically when you type a long message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!start-composing.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Move your mouse to the compose box area.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click the <i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-expand-diagonal"></i>, <i
 | 
						|
   class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-maximize-diagonal"></i>, or <i class="zulip-icon
 | 
						|
   zulip-icon-collapse-diagonal"></i> button in the top right corner of the text
 | 
						|
   box.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! tip ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Which button you see depends on the current size of the compose box.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
