Standard VS Sticky
Basically, each template allows you to optionally use 2 sidebars, which means you can use only the standard sidebar, only sticky sidebar, or combine the two one below each other.
“Sticky” means that widgets inside this sidebar will always be visible while scrolling through the website content. This can be very useful when you want to point out some important content on your website, for example, advertisements, newsletter forms, social networks, etc… Sticky sidebars may improve user engagement and conversion significantly.
Finally, you will be able to pick any of these sidebars in two areas (standard and sticky) as shown in the image below.
