The Sidebar Panel provides a optional navigation menu with links to specific slide number of you Captivate movie. Editing the Sidebar is very similar to the editing the Menu Panel.

The Sidebar is designed to replace the Captivate Table of Contents. Using the Captivate Table of Contents and the Sidebar within the same Captivate movie is not recommended.
The Sidebar button is visible by default. The Sidebar panel content is hidden by default.
The Sidebar Panel is toggled open/closed with the Sidebar Panel button located in the top-left corner of the Captivate Movie Panel. The Sidebar can also be toggled open/closed with the Sidebar button in the playbar. We’ve programmed it so that the up/over state of the Sidebar button in the playbar is automatically reset correctly if the uses wither the Sidebar panel button or the Sidebar playbar button.
Change the “Title” displayed at top of the Sidebar items by editing the value within the H2 header tag: <h2>MENU</h2>.  By default, the value is “MENU”.
The Sidebar menu items are structured into an unordered list.
You can customize the graphics used for the Sidebar button (displays in top-left corner over the Captivate movie). Adjust the image in the SRC attribute: <img src="media/sidebar/slide-button.gif".
To remove a menu item, either place comments around or remove the entire <li>…</li> item.
You can add and rearrange menu items as you desire. Be sure to grab the entire <li>…</li> when you’re editing the moving or copying menu items.
To edit the text displayed for any menu item, edit the text within the link – such as “Slide 4” within last area of each link: false;">Slide 4</a>.
To edit the slide number a menu item links to, change the number with the () after gotoSlideAnd Play. For example, to navigate to slide number 4, use captivateSWF.gotoSlideAndPlay(4);.
Place comments around the outer <div> tags or delete the <div> tags to hide the Sidebar Panel.
