Expanded left navigation panel in the doc theme

MPal Pal

Hi all,

In the documentation theme, I want the tree nodes in the left navigation panel expanded by default, rather than collapsed. Is there a way to do this please?

Thanks folks

Go to Space admin -> Themes
Go into documentation theme configuration
Un-select Page Tree
Add something similar to the following to navigation
```
{pagetree:startDepth=3|searchBox=true}
```

Probably depends on what version of Confluence you're using, and probably not very simply or easily unless you're happy fiddling around with the files that make up the documentation theme.

Having said all that, I'm just guessing but this might work for 3.x - have a look at the pagetree2 macro from Adaptavist - https://www.adaptavist.com/display/Builder/pagetree2+macro.
