 it's included with the configuration in `_quarto.yml`.
 
 Here is what the sidebar for the [quartodoc reference page](/api) looks like:
 
 <div class="sourceCode">
-<pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml">
-{{{< include /api/_sidebar.yml >}}}
+<pre class="sourceCode yaml"><code class="sourceCode yaml">{{< include /api/_sidebar.yml >}}
 </code></pre>
 </div>
+
+## Customizing the sidebar
+
+`sidebar` can also accept additional [sidebar options from the choices available in Quarto](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#side-navigation). These options are passed directly to Quarto, and can be used to customize the sidebar's appearance and behavior, or include additional content. 
+
+When using a dictionary for `sidebar`, use `file` to specify the sidebar file (defaults to `_quartodoc-sidebar.yml` if not provided). You can also provide additional content in the sidebar. Tell quartodoc where to include your package documentation in the sidebar with the `"{{ contents }}"` placeholder.
