The GoHighLevel website and funnel builder sidebar organizes every design option, from general settings and styles to animations, into collapsible panels. Selecting any element on the canvas loads its options in the sidebar instantly, and those options stay visible as you move between elements, so you never lose context mid-edit.

Summary. The revamped sidebar in GoHighLevel's funnel and website builder groups controls into collapsible panels for a cleaner working area. Each element you select surfaces its own general settings, style controls, and animation options in the same sidebar. The persistent context feature means the sidebar updates to the newly selected element without resetting your scroll position or closing any open panel.
