Yes, you’ll have to turn off whatever panels are open. You either have a reference to the panel that you can call or when you open a panel, you create a reference at that point and then just close it. Depending on how many parts you have to options depends on how you’ll want to do it.

If for example you have a gameobject array and have 5 parts in it, you could just loop through and set them all to setActive(false) and then turn on the one panel you need on. This works pretty well for small groups. The other option is if you have a large amount, then when you open a panel, you assign it to a GameObject variable, then you know it has a value and you can just set that to SetActive(false) Just check that it isn’t null

Show some code of how you’re doing this. And don’t forget code tags.

Basic idea though should be. This will handle it fine if you don’t have a lot of panels. There are additional ways and I did this quick by hand, so yeah, just to give you an idea.

public GameObject[] optionPanels; //Drag and drop values in the inspector. These are your canvases, or however you have your option boxes setup.

public void openPanel(GameObject selectPanel)
{
   foreach(GameObject opPanel in optionPanels)
   {
      opPanel.SetActive(false);
   }

   selectPanel.SetActive(true);
}
