They can go back to a previous chapter, jump chapters or access specific pages within different chapters by using the Sidebar navigation panel.<br \/>\nRecently, we have added a new feature, which allows you to <strong>enable, disable or minimize the Sidebar<\/strong>, depending on your or your learner&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fits all screen sizes<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the growth of\u00a0mobile\u00a0learning, learners\u00a0nowadays access courses from their smartphones. To enable learners to optimally view the courses from their mobile devices, you can select the &#8220;<strong>minimize&#8221; Sidebar option<\/strong>. Once you select this option, the Sidebar gets minimized and learners can easily view the course. However, they can also <strong>instantly make the Sidebar appear<\/strong>, if they need it, by tapping on the toggle bar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduces skipping of chapters<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can<strong> disable the Sidebar<\/strong> for any course you want to. Without a Sidebar,<strong> learners cannot jump chapters<\/strong> so they have to go through each page of every chapter to finish the course. This is helpful, especially for technical courses, where it&#8217;s important that learners do not skip any chapter in the course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/naviagtion_4_-1.png\" alt=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to edit the Sidebar (Table of Contents) in your Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Go to &#8220;My Courses&#8221; &amp; click on &#8220;Edit Settings&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2160\" title=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_1_redone.png\" alt=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" width=\"600\" height=\"103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_1_redone.png 935w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_1_redone-300x51.png 300w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_1_redone-768x131.png 768w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_1_redone-512x88.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Step 2.<\/strong> Under &#8220;General Settings&#8221;, choose your desired setting for the Sidebar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2161\" title=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_2_.png\" alt=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" width=\"600\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_2_.png 933w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_2_-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_2_-768x306.png 768w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_2_-512x204.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Step 3.<\/strong> Click on &#8220;Save&#8221; &amp; then on &#8220;I am done changing settings&#8221; to accept the changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_3_.png\" alt=\"ProProfs Training Maker\" width=\"600\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_3_.png 956w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_3_-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_3_-768x263.png 768w, https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/navigation_3_-512x175.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sidebar (Table of Contents) allows learners to easily navigate your course by clicking on the labels.
