Purpose

You can configure "Child page" or "Page tree" navigation in sidebar for each space as described in Configure the Sidebar.

However, it's not possible to configure the option globally for all spaces. 

Solution

Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.

  1. Update BANDANA table with following SQL

    If you want to set to "page tree",
    update BANDANA set BANDANAVALUE='<string>page-tree</string>' WHERE BANDANAKEY='sidebar.nav-type';
    If you want to set to "child page",
    update BANDANA set BANDANAVALUE='<string>pages</string>' WHERE BANDANAKEY='sidebar.nav-type';
  2. Clear caches with General Configuration > Administration > Cache Management > Flush All
