## Selectively hiding or showing the sidebar
[Jekyll's front matter defaults] can be used to apply the `minimal` layout for many pages. But there are also other variables that can control the page layout.

This can then be selectively enabled on a page-by-page basis by assigning the `nav_enabled: true` page [front matter] variable. For instance, this could be used to enable sidebar navigation on a home page while all other pages have sidebar navigation disabled.
```yaml

layout: default
title: Home
nav_enabled: true
