To use Bridge in Compact mode
Switch to Compact mode when you want to shrink the Bridge window. In Compact mode, the panels are hidden and
the content area is simplified. A subset of common Bridge commands remains available from the pop-up menu at
the upper right portion of the window.
By default, the Compact mode Bridge window floats on top of all windows. (In Full mode, the Bridge window can
move behind application windows.) This floating window is useful because it is always visible and usable as you work
in different applications. For instance, you might use Compact mode after you select the files you plan to use, and
then drag them into the application as needed.
