Describe the feature you'd like
I think it would be great idea to implement left menu customization. For example I'd like to delete the "Page Navigation" panel and move my "Book Navigation" to the top. I'd also like to put "Details" panel at the bottom of the left menu. The reason is simple, after adding many Headings and some files my book navigation lands so low in the left menu, that user cannot see it.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
I think every case is different and everybody want to give some customization to their sites. The left menu is one of the most used menus when searching content on bookstackapp and we should be able to customize it ;)

Additional context
Simple example what I am thinking about

Before:

After customization:
