How to Move the Side Notch

If the side notch obstructs your view or you'd prefer it in a different location on your screen, you can easily move it. Click and drag the notch to your desired position along the right-hand side of your screen. However, note that the notch cannot be completely removed from your LinkedIn view unless you uninstall the Surfe extension.
