# Sidebar: Collapsible groups and submenus

> Wrap a `SidebarGroup` or a `SidebarMenuItem` in a `Collapsible`, render the label or button as the trigger, and nest a `SidebarMenuSub`.

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

## Add this example

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

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