# Posts Sidebar

Aspect theme comes with sidebar in posts. It is placed on all posts, and to hide it there is an option and internal tags.

## Show/Hide Sidebar Globally

To show or hide sidebar globally in all posts, follow steps in this article -> [/docs/aspect/settings-post/sidebar/](/docs/aspect/settings-post/sidebar/)

## Show Sidebar in Specific Posts

If you prefer to show sidebar only in certain posts, you can use the internal tag system in Ghost:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
1. Go to **Posts**, and open the post
1. Open the ** Post settings** sidebar
1. Add the `#sidebar` tag to **Tags**
1. Click **Publish**

The sidebar will now appear only in posts with the `#sidebar` internal tag.

    Remember that internal tags starting with `#` are not visible to readers and are used only for theme features and integrations.

## Hide Sidebar in Specific Posts

In cases where you've enabled the sidebar globally but want to hide it in specific posts, you can use another internal tag:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
1. Go to **Posts**, and open the post
1. Open the ** Post settings** sidebar
1. Add the `#hide-sidebar` tag to **Tags**
1. Click **Publish**

The sidebar will not appear in posts with the `#hide-sidebar` internal tag, even if it's enabled globally.

    Remember that internal tags starting with `#` are not visible to readers and are used only for theme features and integrations.

## Show Sidebar in Pages

If you prefer to show sidebar in certain pages, you can use the internal tag system in Ghost. This is useful when you want to **display the table of contents** in the sidebar:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
1. Go to **Pages**, and open the post
1. Open the ** Post settings** sidebar
1. Add the `#sidebar` tag to **Tags**
1. Click **Publish**

The sidebar will now appear in pages with the `#sidebar` internal tag.

    Remember that internal tags starting with `#` are not visible to readers and are used only for theme features and integrations.
