Sidebars appear to the right or left of the content when they fit, or collapse into a content header or footer on narrow screens.
Sidebars can be implemented as a region in the page template, configured in the block layout.
Sidebars could also be implemented in a layout or another component.
A convention that could be used is using the left sidebar for global blocks, and the right sidebar for content specific blocks.
