Make discussion channels collapsable
Authors, editors and reviewers should be able to use a control to expand/collapse the Discussion channels. This has numerous benefits; making the best use of available page real estate and minimising the clutter on screen. As more features are added, certain pages (e.g. Control panel) are becoming overly complex and difficult to navigate which negatively impacts usability.
