### Changes to the sidebar
The sidebar (also known as the right pane) also received some important changes.
The previous iteration of the sidebar would appear contextually, depending on whether there are any items to be displayed. This caused occasional content shifts when moving between two panes in a split view. In the new layout, the sidebar acts more like the <a class="reference-link" href="Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a> pane, remaining visible even if there is nothing to display.
In order to toggle the sidebar, there is a new button on the top-right side of the screen, near the window buttons (on Windows and Linux).
Now each section of the sidebar (e.g. “Table of Contents”, “Highlights list”) is individually collapsible and will remember whether it was collapsed.
Some sidebar items also have a contextual menu, indicated by the three dots on the title. For example, the highlights filter can be adjusted directly from that menu. 
Custom widgets are still supported. For custom scripts, the three dots menu allows quick navigation to the corresponding script note.
## How to toggle the new layout
Starting with v0.101.0, this new layout is enabled by default. It is possible to fall back to the old layout by going to <a class="reference-link" href="Options.md">Options</a> → Appearance and selecting _Old layout_.
