Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to add docs to sidebar in clickup.
Can I add multiple docs to my sidebar?
Yes, you can add multiple documents to your sidebar by repeating this process for each document you want to feature. There's typically no limit to how many docs you can add, though we recommend keeping your sidebar organized by grouping related documents together.
Will moving a doc to the sidebar change its original location?
No, moving a document to your sidebar creates a shortcut or reference to the original document rather than removing it from its original location. Your document remains accessible from its original folder while also appearing in your sidebar.
How do I remove a doc from my sidebar?
To remove a document from your sidebar, select the document in your sidebar and use the move or remove option to delete the shortcut. This action only removes it from the sidebar and doesn't delete the actual document from ClickUp.
Can I reorder docs in my sidebar?
Yes, most ClickUp workspaces allow you to drag and drop documents within your sidebar to reorder them. This lets you prioritize the most frequently accessed documents at the top for better visibility and efficiency.
Are sidebar docs visible to my entire team?
Sidebar visibility depends on your ClickUp workspace permissions and sharing settings. Documents in your personal sidebar are typically only visible to you, while shared workspace sidebars are visible to all team members with access to that workspace.
