Hello Martin
If you mean the rather good feature, that was removed from v.13, where you automatically had the left menu for the actual level, then this is not possible anymore - BUT - you can on each page for a level, make a menu ( menu-object ) on the left side of the page.
Make the menu only as wide as it will not make more than one menu-item per line.
You have to set the menu for the actual level, and you have to make the menu-object on every page for a level.
Tip : make the first page for the level, and then copy this page for the next pages.
What Jiper shows is that you can make a menu on a left sidebar ( it can be made sticky ) - but unfortunately the menu can only be specified for ONE level.
We are waiting for an option where the menu-object can be automatic-level-specified dependent on the page you are on - or by the level you are on. THEN it will be really useful to have a menu-object in a sidebar.
Hope these posts tells something about the new menu-structure. There are also a lot of posts that explains how to use the menu-objects when going from V 13 to V 14.
The boyttom navigation you can make by putting a menu-object in the footer, and then make this styled as the "old" was.
You will also find that the HTML-sitemap has gone - missed by many users.
It seems that the way you have your site, then it is enough to have the left-sidebar and then put a menu-object here.
It will not be a good idea to make it sticky, as you then will not be able to show all your menu elements.
