Hello Everyone!! I am Bhawana a SharePoint MVP and having about 10+ years of SharePoint experience as well as in .Net technologies. I have worked in all the versions of SharePoint from wss to Office 365. I have good exposure in Customization and Migration using Nintex, Metalogix tools.

Hi Bhawana,
I have a question. I am using an Oslo layout and I want to get rid of side navigation bar to utilize more horizontal space. After applying the Oslo layout, sidebar is gone for some pages (classic page, calendar), but it is still there for the others like i.e. modern page, lists, and document library. Could you help me with this?
Regards,
Jung
