Hide viewer window in fcpx when using breakout box

Is there a way to hide the viewer window completely in fcpx?

Until now I worked with a dual screen setup, so I cut set up the viewer window on the second screen and use the full screen view to hide the window.

Now I need a breakout box again (to work in 50i) - so I am using the second screen to output the "raw" video signal to this monitor.

On the remaining monitor, I dont need the viewer window, as is takes up a lot of space. Is it somehow possible to deactivate and hide the viewer, so I have only my clips and my timeline on the application window?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

AFAICT, there is no option to hide the Viewer completely.

You can turn off the browser, the sidebar and the timeline, but not the viewer, using Window->Show in Workspace

You can, however, make it pretty small and have your browser and timeline occupy most of your screen.

Save your workspace to easily reuse it.

You can use feedback (Final Cut Pro->Provide Final Cut Pro Feedback...) to ask for adding the viewer to this menu:
