What?

Adds information relating to laying out elements or controls within a ToolsPanel to the component's readme.

Why?

While the ToolsPanel is laid out via a Grid component internally, it does not yet expose grid props for full control (History: #35621). As such, it's not obvious from the docs how to achieve certain panel layouts.

How?

  • Adds a "ToolsPanel Layout" section to the component's development guidelines.
  • Updates README's usage example to illustrate:
    • a non-ToolsPanelItem e.g. a panel description
    • single column controls
    • full column controls

Note: A storybook example illustrating varied layouts might also be a further step if required. This would likely be best in a follow-up after the ToolsPanel stories have been updated to use the latest approach from the components package, including using Controls in place of Knobs.

Testing Instructions

  1. Proofread updates to README
  2. Bonus points for taking the usage example for a test drive
