Tradeoffs Keeps user in the feed flow — good for quick scanning. But the panel is 360px wide, so dense content (email snippets, long participant lists) gets tight. Multiple activities can be open simultaneously. Works well for meeting/call metadata, may struggle with email body content.

Tradeoffs Full panel width for detail content — great for emails with body snippets, meetings with many attendees. Clear information hierarchy with sections. But you lose sight of the feed list while viewing detail, so comparing activities requires back-and-forth navigation. Best if users typically inspect one activity at a time rather than scanning across several.

Tradeoffs The activity list stays visible underneath (dimmed), so users maintain spatial context of where they are in the feed. The drawer can be wider than the panel (overlaps into the timesheet area slightly), giving more room for content. Arrow keys navigate between activities without closing. The trade-off is added visual complexity — two layers to manage — and it partially obscures the timesheet.
