Sidebar
The sidebar is a column to the side of a page which acts as a "container" for a number of pagelets. It is 200 (or more) pixels wide. Depending upon the design selected for a site, the sidebar is either on the left or right:
The sidebar is typically used to display information supplemental to the main content of the page. Often, the same pagelets appear in all pages of your site, giving it continuity.
For example, you might use the sidebar to provide a simple Contact Form on every page, or a List of Links to your favorite sites. For information on adding and removing pagelets from the sidebar, please see the "Pagelet" article.
To set whether or not the sidebar appears on a page:
- Select the page in the Site Outline.
- Open the Page Inspector.
- Check or uncheck the "Show sidebar" box.
The pages of a site are arranged in a hierarchy, with collection pages "containing" other pages. You can set whether the sidebar of a page should include those pagelets that appear in its parent collection.
To set whether or not the sidebar should include pagelets from its parent page:
- Select the page in Site Outline.
- Open the Page Inspector.
- Check or uncheck the "Include pagelets from parent" box
