Fixed position header, sidenav, sidebar, etc. (freeze elements)
planned
Alyssa T
We would like the top header, left sidenav, and right sidebar to have true fixed positions so that the article text is the only content that moves when scrolling through the article.
When I scroll down an article, the page header area scrolls out of view. The left sidenav menu and right sidebar (TOC + tags) also move in coordination with that change. We would like for article scrolling to have zero effect on the placement/position of the header, left sidnav, and right sidebar.

Alyssa T we are working on these changes for sidenav, sidebar at the moment. However, header part is not aligned in our roadmap. We will keep you posted once relevant changes are rolled-out.

Alyssa T & Marsha Hippensteel thanks for your valuable feedback we have added this to our pipeline, we update once we started implementation.

Hi Alyssa. I don't understand your request--this is how it currently works for me/our KB.

Marsha Hippensteel: When I scroll down an article, the page header area scrolls out of view. The sidenav and tags also move slightly in coordination with that change. I'm asking for article scroll functionality to have zero effect on the placement/position of the header, sidnav, and tags.

Alyssa T: Thanks for your quick clarification, Alyssa. You're right, the KB's header does scroll up/away and that does affect the side panels some.
I was thinking of the specific article's heading, which doesn't go away but morphs into a longer bar that shows progress in scrolling through the article (which I love). And once in that state, the side panels don't move.
My ask to Document360 is that if you implement changes like this you allow us (KB Owners) a choice between the two options (i.e., don't just get rid of the previous option). I would choose to retain the current approach because the reader has chosen to browse/read the specific article, and it allows more screen space for them to do that in, and shows their progress. Caveat: I would choose this until the Search function can search within the current article--then I wouldn't want the Search field to scroll up/away...
