Welcome to the community @Krithica G _EXTERNAL_ !

You can refer to this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-tree-macro-163414255.html

To summarise the startDepth needs to be changed to 1 in order to show the child pages automatically when the page is open.

Thank you. this shows in the page. Can the same be configured in the sidebar?

I see, there is another reference here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-auto-expand-sidebar-page-tree-to-show-children-of-current/qaq-p/923972

There is no other reference to the sidebar than this page here.

There are other articles but those are related to the cloud.

Hi @Krithica G _EXTERNAL_ 

Unfortunate this can't be achieved in the sidebar of a space.

Also I think they didn't do it for performance purpose, as every child page must be checked against  possible page permissions.
