Is there a way to keep template sidebar with a keyword?

Right now, I have to insert an empty Markdown, but I was wondering if there’s a way to keep the sidebar with a keyword instead

import panel as pn
pn.extension()

pn.config.sizing_mode = "stretch_both"

# layout dashboard
loading_indicator = pn.indicators.LoadingSpinner(value=True, sizing_mode="scale_both", max_width=200, align="center")
loading_col = pn.Column(loading_indicator, align="center")
material_template = pn.template.VanillaTemplate()
material_template.sidebar.append(pn.pane.Markdown(""))
material_template.main.append(loading_col.clone())

material_template.servable()

Hi @ahuang11

Nope. There is not to my knowledge as a developer of some of those.

You could just .append(""). Could you explain the use case and why you would need it?

I want a username/password page first without a sidebar, upon logging in, I want the sidebar to be expanded

Is this a login to a specific page or the application in general.
