Question about Catalog View Pane

Question

I have a question that might be very simple, but ... just want to hear others...

So whenever I open ArcGIS Pro I constantly have to click to open Catalog View Pane whenever I need to use it...

Is there a way around to make it permanent ?  I know there are several ways to do it , I would have to click on it and open each time..  Kind of annoyed to me but...

Anyone ?

Or should I put it up in ArcGIS Ideas ??

I was asking everyone here to see if there is a way to make Catalog View permanently, but yes I know there are ways for me to open several ways.

At the risk of being fussy, is this not Project specific and reopens only to the settings of the last Save of the Project? I also find some confusion in the terminology used around the term "pane". In my simple understanding, "panes" have these

and sometimes a ? Views such as Catalog Views do not. Views are associated with a Tab Group. "Views" such as Map, Layout and Catalog have an associated Contents pane. The Tooltips for the icons in the View tab --> Windows group differentiate between a View and a Pane.

It's analogous somewhat to the "layer" <-> "data source" terminology confusion.

Whatever panes you have open when you close Pro should reopen again the next time you open Pro.
