Navigation Menu (Sidebar) Modifier

Is it conceivable to append additional settings for the selection of certain categories in the sidebar? At present, the administrator does not have (or at least, I have not found such an option in the admin settings) the ability to specify which categories should be displayed in the sidebar, and which should not.

This is in admin-settings- default navigation menu categories and there is also one for tags called default navigation menu tags if you have tagging enabled:

Sidebar Categories Not Showing to New Users

you can set the default categories to show in the navigation menu with the default navigation menu categories setting in admin - settings: [IMG_0035] keep in mind that users can override this with their own customized categories section in the same way you can (clicking the pencil icon beside the category header in the menu). note that there is also a similar default navigation menu tags setting for tags.

Note that users can override this in their own category sections of the menu with their own pencil icon (next to the category header).

It is also worth noting that the sidebar menu was renamed “navigation menu” in most places in core and documentation, so using sidebar in the settings search is likely going to give incomplete results.
