The Jira Administrator can set the default state of the Dashboard Sidebar to collapsed or expanded.

Collapsed Dashboard Sidebar

Collapsed Dashboard Sidebar

Expanded Dashboard Sidebar

By default when Dashboard Folders is first installed, the Dashboard Sidebar default state will be collapsed.

If a user has never changed the Dashboard Sidebar state or if the user account is new, it will follow the default state of the Dashboard Sidebar set by Jira Administrator.

Otherwise if a user has changed the Dashboard Sidebar state, then the user preference will take precedence.
