# Right pane widget
## Key highlights
* `doRender` must not be overridden, instead `doRenderBody()` has to be overridden.
* `doRenderBody` can optionally be `async`.
* `parentWidget()` must be set to `“rightPane”`.
* `widgetTitle()` getter can optionally be overriden, otherwise the widget will be displayed as “Untitled widget”.
## Example for new layout
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This section addresses example that are tailored for the <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/New%20Layout.md">New Layout</a> (available starting with v0.101.0) where the right pane widget/sidebar is no longer shown or hidden based on the widgets it has. 
### Title widget
This is an example of a context-aware widget which displays the title of the current note:
```
class NoteTitleWidget extends api.RightPanelWidget {
get widgetTitle() { return "Note title"; }
get parentWidget() { return "right-pane" }

### Clock
A simple widget which will show the current time, as an example on how to dynamically change the content of the widget periodically.
```
const template = `<div></div>`;
class ToDoListWidget extends api.RightPanelWidget {
get widgetTitle() { return "Clock"; }

## Altering the position within the sidebar
By default, the sidebar items are displayed in the order they are found by the application when searching for `#widget` notes.
It is possible to make a widget appear higher or lower up, by adjusting its `position` property:
```diff
class MyWidget extends api.RightPanelWidget {
+ get position() { return 20 };
}
```
Generally the default position starts from 10 and increases by 10 with each item, including the default Table of Contents and Highlights list.
