Custom sidebar on a per-page basis in Multipage app

Hey there,

I was wondering if there's a way to define a custom sidebar for every page in the new multi-page app. The reason is that I'd like to have the header as the global navigation to switch between pages/apps, while the sidebar should be contextual for the page it's on.

I didn't find an easy way to do this, so not sure if this is already possible

Hey there @Janosch_Herrmann,

I stumbled upon this obstacle as well a couple of weeks ago. It seems the retool team is working on defining sidebars for each page, rather than only global.

As a workaround you can use split panes which can be added as components to each page.

Hey @Janosch_Herrmann ! @MiguelOrtiz is correct -- we are currently working on allowing page headers/sidebars, hope to have it out soon! Will update this thread once we have it ready.

And yes, in the meantime, you can use a page splitpane, great suggestion.

@Janosch_Herrmann You can toggle the visibility of the sidebar menu based on the current page.

Hi!
We just released a feature flag for page header/sidebar on cloud. If you reply to this comment with your org subdomain, I can turn on the feature flag for you :slight_smile:

Count me in.

Should be enabled for you, let me know if page header/sidebars are not showing up for you in multipage!

They should be accessible via the Add Component Modal:
