<p>In Drupal core 11.3.x, using Gin 5.0.12, and not using Navigation, the "Show sidebar panel" toggle is not visible.</p>
<p>This issue was fixed for Drupal CMS sites using Navigation in issue <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gin/-/work_items/3567613" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gin/-/work_items/3567613</a></span> in January 2026, but has not been fixed for Drupal core sites not using Navigation.</p>
<p>With Drupal core, Gin 5.0.11, and not using Navigation, the "Show sidebar panel" toggle IS visible. </p>
<p>It became invisible in Gin 5.0.12.</p>
