Hello
Is there a way in which the width of the message area in PVA can be increased (highlighted in red).
I am forcing users to type more details, so want the width of the text area to be a bit more. I did play around with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/customize-default-canvas but still not able to increase the window.
Any help/link would be helpful.
Edit:
I did try const styleOptions = {// Add styleOptions to customize web chat canvassendBoxHeight: 300,sendBoxMaxHeight: 2000
} to increase the send box width, however, the text isn't getting contained in the box.
Found the solution
This link helped. "sendBoxTextWrap: true"

Hi @nikviz ,
If you use the chat canvas (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/customize-default-canvas), you can define any width through css.
Cheers,
Fernando
