How to avoid sidebar changes

Home Assistant has a native feature to change the order of sidebar items or hide them. But this feature should not be used together with Custom Sidebar if you are using a custom order or hiding/showing items. So, in case that you are doing this you should disable this functionality.

Custom Sidebar has an option that will allow you to disable this Home Assistant feature.

sidebar_editable

This option is true by default, which gives the normal behaviour in Home Assistant. If you set it to false, it will not only ignore clicking-and-hold on the sidebar's title, it will also disable the EDIT button in the Change the order and hide items from the sidebar in the user's profile.

YAML

<config directory>/www/sidebar-config.yaml

sidebar_editable: false
order:
  ...

JSON

<config directory>/www/sidebar-config.json

{
  "sidebar_editable": false,
  "order": [
    ...
  ]
}
