Description
Description
The current implementation of the DataTable sidebar in Paragon lacks flexibility and has some layout limitations.
- The sidebar always renders the SidebarFilters component, without providing a way to inject or replace it with a custom component.
- The sidebar layout is too skinny, which limits potential use cases (e.g., adding a search box or other interactive elements).

Research direction
Start by locating the DataTable sidebar and its SidebarFilters usage, then read the related discussion in openedx/frontend-app-catalog#31. Define the component injection or replacement behavior and the required wider layout from that context. Done means the sidebar supports a custom filter component and accommodates wider interactive content without breaking its existing use.
