Hi,
I have been working with the HTML 5 Tripane skin for all my HTML 5 targets. Just upgraded to 2018 and am trying to use the new side nav skin. I've associated the skin with my target, but when I build, all content (topics and nav menu) show up inside the side panel, where the TOC should be.
If i click a link in the TOC, that topic opens squished inside that pane. The main 'topic container' stays empty. Not sure what i'm missing here.(pic attached)
I went through the online help for the side nav skin, and believe i've done everything necessary.

Re: HTML5 Tripane to Side nav skin
Clear your cache and clean your target to make sure there aren't any vestiges of the old settings in your output folders. I was able to switch a tri-pane output to the side nav without any issues, which doesn't help you much, I know.

Re: HTML5 Tripane to Side nav skin
Goodbye TopNav and hello SideNav for me. I like this a LOT better.
I did have to spend an hour fiddling with it though. I built a sample project with MadCap's default SideNav as the output and started comparing that to my own. Very quickly discovered that I needed to add a few bits and pieces from the sample project to my own before I could make much headway. The most important was to grab their master page, rename it, then edit to my own tastes.

Thanks all - i did have to go through the template project closely. I had to switch style sheets - not sure yet which styles are different, but when i used the template project's style sheet all my content displayed correctly.
