Layout Sidebar Left Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for the side menu choice in an admin theme's navigation setting, opposite a top bar; and docs and help center templates where a page list runs beside the article, with no top bar. For a header toggle that shows or hides the nav sidebar, use the Panel Left icon. For a docked inspector or properties pane on the trailing edge of an editor, use the Layout Sidebar Right icon.

Narrow left column beside a wide panel, for left sidebar layouts, navigation drawers and docs pages. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Layout Sidebar Left icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Narrow left column beside a wide panel, for left sidebar layouts, navigation drawers and docs pages. Typical uses: toggle the left sidebar, choose a left navigation layout and docs page template.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

The side menu choice in an admin theme's navigation setting, opposite a top bar
Docs and help center templates where a page list runs beside the article, with no top bar

For a header toggle that shows or hides the nav sidebar, use the Panel Left icon. For a docked inspector or properties pane on the trailing edge of an editor, use the Layout Sidebar Right icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Layout Header and Layout Header Split sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Layout set: Layout Sidebar Right, Layout Add, Layout Columns and Layout Content Rail.

When was it added, and what was it called before?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named element-3, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
