Sidebar Helper

The route adapter returns sidebar data for docs routes. PayloadMarkdownDocsPage uses that data automatically, and custom renderers can read resolved.sidebar from a resolved docs route.

Sidebar items are built from generated docs records and sorted deterministically by:

1. order
2. sourcePath
3. route

The sidebar data excludes archived docs and docs hidden from navigation.

Labels

Sidebar labels use:

• override nav title
• doc navTitle
• doc title
• source path fallback

Generated Tree

The tree is derived from source paths and routes. It is data, not a required UI component, so your app can render it however it wants.
