Hello everyone! I’ve just merged a big update to this component that does a few things: [FEATURE: include tag sidebars, migrate to objects setting by awesomerobot · Pull Request #22 · discourse/discourse-topic-list-sidebars · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-category-sidebars/pull/22)

- Migrates the list style setting to an objects setting. This means:
  - Each sidebar can be configured for multiple categories at once
  - You can now select categories from the dropdown instead of manually adding slugs
  - Includes a tag option as well! this means you’ll no longer need a separate component ([Discourse Tag Sidebars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-tag-sidebars/111114))

Existing settings should migrate automatically on update… unless your slug is different from the category name, then you’ll need to manually update settings.

For example, `site-feedback` will properly migrate to `Site Feedback` but there isn’t a method to migrate slugs that don’t align with names (e.g., your slug for `Site Feedback` is `hamburgers` instead of `site-feedback`).

I will probably change this theme component’s name and deprecate tag sidebars to reflect the new situation.
