# "Add Doc" sidebar issue

 * I have dynamic widgets set up in my group sidebar. This allows me to show certain
   widgets for certain groups. However, I’ve noticed once “add new doc” is clicked,
   all the widgets for every group show in the sidebar. I’m guessing this is because
   the “add new doc” page doesn’t technically belong to a single group. Is there
   a way I can change which sidebar is assigned to the “add new docs” page? That
   would allow me to set up a generic one for “create new docs”.

 * For a temporary fix I was able to hide the sidebar all together. All my groups
   are hidden and invite only so it’s important no information is shared between
   the groups. Below is the css I used. You must replace the “.whatever-the-sidebar-
   class-is” with your sidebar’s class. It’s not the most ideal solution but it 
   serves it’s purpose.

 * Hi allisonnance-
 * Unfortunately, widget display is controlled by the theme you’re using. I believe
   you’re using Boss, where the Add New form looks like it’s happening in the group.
   You might try a related thing that Boone wrote that actually moves group doc 
   bits into the related group: [https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-in-group](https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-in-group)
 * I can’t say how it’ll work with Boss, though.
 * Best,
 * -David

 * Thanks but it didn’t work with Boss. It caused me to have two sidebars both of
   which displayed all of the dynamic group widgets.
