Dynamically increase of XCF Notepad size

Provide a solution where we can increase the Notepad size without disruption of services.
When we create a notepad, we are already planning its size considering future growth. However, due the high demand for notepad utilization during our project implementation, we are facing situations where we need to increase the size of notepad on demand. This is causing disruption of the services in production that are using the Notepad, because we need to rebuild the structures to increase its size, create a new Notepad with a new name and reallocate all the control data to this new Notepad. During this period we need to stop our production. We would like a solution where we can increase the current Notepad size without disruption of services.
