# Sidebar: Under a header

> The sidebar is sticky, so it starts below anything above it. With a sticky header, set `--sidebar-top` to its height and the sidebar pins below it and fits the rest of the screen.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/sidebar/examples/header
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/sidebar.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/sidebar-header.json
```

This adds `components/examples/sidebar/header.tsx` with the Sidebar component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
