Description
The Sidebar is a launcher bar located on the right side of Microsoft Edge.
If you enable this policy, the Sidebar is always visible.
If you disable this policy, the Sidebar is never shown.
If you don't configure this policy, the Sidebar's visibility follows the user's Microsoft Edge settings.
When this policy and Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled are both set, Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled will override the value for this policy to control the display of Copilot in the toolbar. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy will soon be the only means of controlling the display of Copilot in the toolbar.
Note: The recommended version of this policy-also known as the "Default Settings (users can override)" policy-is obsolete. This policy has never supported the recommended capability.
