Colorlib Updates Free Bootstrap Sidebar Collection to 25 Templates for 2026
By September 2026, Colorlib has increased its collection of free Bootstrap sidebars to a total of 25, which comprises ten navigation layouts (V1–V10), ten sidebar widgets (V01–V10), and five sidebars from the 2026 snippet library. All items are available for free download along with live demonstrations. These templates utilize dependency-free HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, and are compatible with Bootstrap versions 4, 5, and 6; older versions necessitate Bootstrap and jQuery. Recent updates feature a documentation sidebar, collapsible dashboard icon rail, mobile navigation drawer, vertical settings sidebar, and a blog newsletter widget. The templates are offered under CC BY 3.0 for both personal and commercial purposes. Users have raised concerns regarding attribution and mobile functionality.
