You can add a number of items to the right sidebar. Highlights, images, buttons, and menus are a few options. We are going to concentrate on the most-used item, a Highlight. Highlights are used on a number of CMS websites to display additional information and/or related links. Here are a few sidebar examples:

Adding Highlights to a Page
Once you have created the Highlight(s) that you wish to add to a web page, you are ready to learn how to add them to the various web pages in your site. In the CMS, locate the Generic Content Item (web page) that you want to add a right sidebar to. Your webpage will most likely be in Public state (although it could be in any state). Transition it to QuickEdit by right clicking on the file and selecting “Workflow”:

Your Highlight(s) will now be slotted. You can use the buttons under “Action” to change the order the Highlights appear, change their templates or slot, or edit or delete them.
