hey @nataliefiann , great to see this move to the sidebar!

i believe you’ve nested the visual editor docs under the ide docs in the sidebar.js file.
if you want to add another visual editor subfolder below the ide one, you need to add the below code after the dbt cloud ide/dbt copilot section (line ~310 i think), and not within the dbt cloud ide code.

},
{
          type: "category",
          label: "dbt Cloud Visual Editor",
          collapsed: true,
          link: { type: "doc", id: "docs/cloud/visual-editor" },
          items: [
            "docs/cloud/visual-editor",
            "docs/cloud/use-visual-editor",
            "docs/cloud/visual-editor-interface",
          ],
        },
        ],
      },

also, i think you need to update the
pagination_next: "docs/cloud/use-visual-editor"
pagination_prev: "docs/cloud/visual-editor" frontmatter so the ‘next/previous’ links flow better because currently it mismatches with what’s on the sidebar
