Research direction
Review the existing layout in the templates (likely a base template) and the associated CSS files for documentation pages. Check how the sidebar is currently structured and consider implementing a CSS solution (e.g., position: sticky or overflow y: scroll) to make it scroll independently. Ensure the change is responsive and does not break other pages. Look for any existing discussions or PRs on this issue for additional context.
