Yes, this was a pain I encountered.

Ideally, the sidebar would animate closed, as it does when you click the sidebar toggle normally.

Since my component closes the sidebar, but doesnt animate it, it turns out to be a jolt.

I could either:

- animate the sidebar closed
  - im unsure how to do this, as I _think_ its done via JS + Css?

- dont close sidebar
