Resize
What is Resize?
Definition
Resize means to change the width, height, or overall size of an on-screen item without altering its content. This action adjusts how much space an object such as a window, image, or text box occupies within a layout or display. This matters because resizing helps content fit appropriately within available space, which improves visibility, organisation, and efficient use of the screen.
