+1 for a way to use different icons or suppress the icons. Having a 📄 icon exactly the same for each item in the list doesn’t really add anything for me.

In case it helps anyone, here is CSS which suppresses the 📄 in Discourse Doc Categories sidebar lists but doesn’t suppress the sidebar icons/dots elsewhere in Discourse.

```plaintext
.discourse-docs-sidebar-panel {
    .sidebar-section-link .sidebar-section-link-prefix {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .sidebar-section-link-content-text {
        margin-left: 10px;
    }
}

```

The `margin-left: 10px;` bit can be tweaked to align the text in a visually pleasing way to you.

Just put this in your custom theme CSS (or make it part of a bespoke theme component in your site for convenience)
