The sidebar is your primary navigation tool in the Documentation theme. It’s designed to be intuitive, collapsible, and multi-level — making it perfect for organized documentation structures.
🧭 Key Features:
- Collapsible Sections
Click on any parent section to reveal or hide nested pages. - Multi-Level Support
The sidebar can handle deeply nested documentation up to 3 levels — great for complex knowledge bases. - Sticky Positioning
The sidebar stays visible as you scroll, helping you navigate large documents.
✍️ How to Edit the Sidebar:
By default, the sidebar reflects your page hierarchy. To customize it:
- Go to Pages > All Pages
- Drag and nest your pages using the “Nested Pages” plugin (recommended)
- Or manually assign parents under Page Attributes
🎨 Sidebar Options (in Pro version):
- Toggle icons
- Compact or expanded view
- Show/hide on mobile
- Add custom labels or status badges (like “Beta”)
💡 Pro Tip: Keep section titles short and focused. Group similar content together for faster browsing.
