sidebar

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Sidebar' is a place in a document or website set aside for extra notes, highlights or advertisements, but is related to the main content. Like side comments in a Google Doc.

Examples in Different Contexts

For content management systems, a sidebar can offer shortcuts to various administrative functions or display contextual information. A CMS administrator might remark, 'Our CMS's sidebar improves workflow by providing quick links to content updates, comments, and analytics.'

Practice Scenarios

Good suggestion. Let's add a sidebar for better navigation; it will display pages the user might be interested in.

Branding

Scenario:

The brochure looks great, but it may not clearly communicate the values we prioritize. Perhaps, we need to present them more prominently.

You're right. I suggest including our company values in a sidebar; it will make them more noticeable.
