Sidebar

The Sidebar complementary content type may be attached to one individual page on a WCMS 3 site. It may be used to add additional information, provide related links, promote social media accounts, etc. Sidebar content generates on the right side of the web page; the existing layout will accommodate the width of the sidebar for the whole length of the page.

Note: The use of sidebar content is not recommended on WCMS 3. The 2-column section (larger left, 66%, 33%) may be used in place of sidebar content.
