Description

Feature request

Add the ability to disable navigation to different steps in the sidebar.

Use case

In complex wizards where validation of each step is dependant on the previous results, we do not necessarily want users to be able to navigate through the wizard using the side panel. The navigation should purely be done via the next button to allow proper validation on each step

Examples

<MultiStepDialog ... sidebarNavigation={false} />

Research direction
Locate the MultiStepDialog component in the blueprint repository, likely in src/components/multistep dialog/. Look for how sidebar steps are rendered and how navigation is currently handled. Implement a new prop, e.g., 'sidebarNavigation', defaulting to true, and conditionally disable click handlers on the sidebar steps. Update the component's TypeScript definition and ensure tests are added or updated. Check existing comments for any additional context.
