The dark blue header on the TOC at the left of each page of StarlingX documentation (docs.starlingx.io) has a drop down menu titled "StarlingX Documentation", with a triangular 'down' arrow to its right. This menu has only two static entries, "Install Guides" and "API Guides". The Install Guides entry points to the root of the doc set, not the Install Guide. Neither entry updates correctly when switching version, e.g. to release 7.

We don't see any value in this menu given that complete information is available in the TOC and would like to replace it with a static header. I do not see any definition for it in conf.py.

How can we change this behavior?

Note that the service-discuss@lists.opendev.org mailing list's scope is around the services run within the OpenDev Collaboratory, so it's not that great of a place for projects to discuss changes to their source code and documentation. Ideally these are the sorts of topics the StarlingX community will discuss with its membership and develop its own internal expertise in. The most I can do is some keyword searches and trying to interpret the results of what I find, and make connections with other interested parties who may be able to help. As such, I'm redirecting replies to the starlingx-discuss mailing list which is better suited for this discussion (I'm subscribed there too, and do my best to reply to posts where I can be of help). Starting with a search for "Install Guides" in the default branches of Git repositories hosted in OpenDev[*], I see that the string appears within StarlingX's customization subtree[**] in the OpenStackDocsTheme project. What little I know about HTML suggests that removing the content in that file (making it a completely empty file) will hopefully have the intended effect. Further searching for references to that sidebartoc_menu.html file indicates it's unconditionally included in the inherited OpenStackDocsTheme sidebartoc.html[***] so probably can't be safely removed without forking that file as well. Note that there is nothing stopping the StarlingX community from dropping the use of the OpenStackDocsTheme Sphinx extension and replacing it with a completely custom theme of their own, which would provide a lot more direct control over these sorts of details. Hopefully that helps? If not, lets talk through specifics on the StarlingX mailing list so that we can build a better understanding of this among members of the project's community.
