How can I get my content tree to show on the sidebar?
Asked by Erica Winter:

I am having trouble getting my content to show on the left-hand sidebar in Confluence. In my space settings, I have all pages ordered under the home page, but still I am not seeing any page appear on the sidebar on the left-hand side.

A few guesses:

Check to be sure that the space homepage is set to the page you are expecting it to be.

Have you expanded the Content menu, the little arrow to the left?

If you wish to move to something custom, look on our app, [Advanced Content Navigator](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218865/advanced-content-navigator-filter-pages-changes-statuses?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)!

It enables you to insert a page tree on any page or just open it with a shortcut in a modal from the current page.

Our advanced page tree can show **statuses** , **unread** **pages** , and other data about pages, and you can also **filter** it in single or multiple spaces.

Screenshots below of the content sidebar and the space settings. The homepage is set to the page I expect it to be, and when I expand the content arrow it says there is no content.

author: Erica Winter
body: Hi Shawn, maybe I have misunderstood---are they not currently nested under the home page as shown in the screenshot? Please correct me if I am missing something. Thanks!

In this example the page 'Parties' is under the page 'fun stuff' in the space test123

I suspect when you look at your page breadcrumbs, they are not under the page 'Home Page'. Once you reorder the pages under the 'Home Page' they will show up in the content menu.

Try hitting the **\[** key.

Or, hover the mouse in the area as shown in the picture and you should see the Expand option (works the other way round too to Collapse the tree).
