 ### 📝 Notes
+#### NcAppSidebar
+The `info` slot was introduced to allow customization of sidebar header content.
+This will replace original main name of the sidebar and `header`, `subname`, `secondary-actions`, `tertiary-actions` slots.
+It is recommended to use slot together with `NcAppSidebarHeader` component to support accessibility features.
 #### NcPopover
-`NcPopover` now has its own properties and no longer directly exposes the internal library used (`floating-vue`).
-It is still possible to use its properties, but this ability might be removed in the next version.
-Thus we encourage you to only use the documented properties.
-
-Also this component now supports a logical placement (`start`, `end`) which works with RTL design.
-Moreover the `focusTrap` property is now deprecated and will be replaced with `noFocusTrap`,
+The `focusTrap` property is now deprecated and will be replaced with `noFocusTrap`,
 the reason behind this is to only have boolean properties with default value of `false` allowing shortcut props.
