The Sidebar Block content type is a block that appears on Section Front Pages and Pages Landing and Basic pages in either the right-hand or left-hand region of the page. These blocks are used to provide additional functionality that Related Resources and Contact Info do not offer.

You can use blocks to place content or functionality on different regions of a page (outside of the body). They are the number two feature you will use to build content on your site behind content types.
