Hi,
It'd be neat if we could get a traditional sidebar option - I've been looking at moving from Dokuwiki and this the key thing that I can't find nor make. Would help people find the pages they want a lot quicker without relying on search or having a good 100+ links on the main page...
Something like:
Having standard text titles (or even books) with the chapters listed underneath would be more useful for getting users to where they need to be versus the current sidebar.
Is anything like this planned?
Thanks.

Personally, I prefer the feed that is provided.

Yeah, it might be best to have some sort of options (but I'd guess that'd be a lot more difficult).
Currently I have the sidebar style I'd like as the start page, but once you leave that, there's no quick jumping, which is a shame.

I just wanted to open a feature request but I feel like this is related, so - what about pinning and inlining a page to the sidebar, so it gets displayed there?
That way, one could display anything (text, images, links, ...) in the sidebar, and the feed could be displayed below. There are some questions though: should that sidebar be per wiki, per book, per chapter or per page? And should more than one pinned page be allowed at the same time?
The alternative would be pinning multiple books/chapters/pages to the sidebar and make an extra section with "Pinned Pages", that could then be re-ordered and divided with headers, essentially building something like the sidebar in the DokuWiki screenshot above (without the footer). In my opinion that would fit BookStack more, as it wouldn't introduce an additional structural element - in fact, it could simply look like this:
If the feature is one that the @ssddanbrown and @Abijeet would like to see in BookStack, I can try creating a pull request for that.

An option for a more traditional sidebar like Dokuwiki's would be nice as it would make navigation between books quicker.

I want this too. This is a nice feature to speed up the navigation and the suggestion from @moqmari seems good enough.
