Has anyone successfully customized the sidebar on the Article layout. I would like to make use of the available white space to include anchor links to section titles and related articles. 

 

Here is where I am at currently

 

and here is a rough cut and paste of where I am trying to go

 

All I have managed is to figure out how to hide the rating element.

I used CSS to move the rating to the top right and got rid of the sidebar completely so it would be full width. Then I put in an HTML snippet with a table of contents at the top with return to top sections throughout so they don’t have to scroll up.

Hi ​@JenR 

I was touching base with Gretchen Edelmon from your implementation and onboarding. We have a few quick questions: 
Are you aiming to modify the actual article view or just the detail page?
Are the articles meant to be free to the public?

We have a few examples we can share. I’ll follow up with you in a separate thread. Appreciate your thoughts when possible. 

Happy Learning!

Hi Jeanne,

 

I am looking at the article view itself. We will have a combination of some that are free to the public and some that are behind login. 

I have been able to hide the left navigation bar and create a two column look in the body. Ideally, I would like to customize the left navigation bar to include a TOC (with links to anchors in the article body), links to related articles, and the rating element. OR - create a floating TOC or make it so only the right column scrolls and embed the rating element at the bottom of the page. 

Here is the current progress.
