[@admins](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/groups/admins) Looks like Discourse now supports [a navigation sidebar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-discourse-sidebar/258478), but it does not seem to be enabled for our site.

I think a sidebar would make it easier to navigate and see different available content

Thanks @jkuester, we will explore how the navigation sidebar can be enabled and share here our findings.
