Sidebar looks great, but I’d like to be able to customize what shows up there.

Although having History, Favorites and Sets can be useful, I don’t think it should be imposed.

I want to be able to add (and name) my own sections, and organize items the way I want in there, ideally with option to create folders and subfolders.

Ideally I’d also want the option to disable automatically showing linked objects as children in the sidebar. I’d rather have a simple uncluttered main navigation in the sidebar.

I was looking exactly for this. Perfect! I hope they implement that 😉

There have been many topics about sidebar customizing, for example:

- [Sidebar customizability](https://community.anytype.io/t/sidebar-customizability/5746)
- [Ability to freely reorder Sidebar Sets and Favorites](https://community.anytype.io/t/ability-to-freely-reorder-sidebar-sets-and-favorites/5008)
- [Customising Sidebar Layout](https://community.anytype.io/t/customising-sidebar-layout/4982)
- [Ability to customize Sidebar items](https://community.anytype.io/t/ability-to-customize-sidebar-items/4988)

And [Widgets and Sidebar / Dashboard updates#12](https://github.com/anytypeio/roadmap/issues/12) is on the roadmap for Q2 2023.

Also collections is on the [roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/anytypeio/projects/11/views/1) for Q1 this year.

So if we can add collections and/or custom items to the sidebar then I believe we can do all you are asking in this feature request.
