The sidebar enables the core modules to add views into the sidebar view. It handles views being removed and added. When creating a new sidebar view - use the SidebarView and extend.

Origin.sidebar.addView([view.$el], [optionsObject]); - Adds a view into the Sidebar.

The options object allows the following settings:

backButtonText - Text displayed at the top of the Sidebar view.

backButtonRoute - When the user clicks the back link this route will be fired. If no route is specified then the backButtonText will not display.

// Create the new view var editorPageSidebarView = new EditorPageSidebarView().$el; // Setup back button breadcrumb var optionsObject = { "backButtonText": "Back to courses", "backButtonRoute": "/#/dashboard" }; // Add to sidebar view Origin.sidebar.addView(editorPageSidebarView, optionsObject); 

By calling the sidebar view the views already opened inside the sidebar will be removed and cleaned up.
