To the left of the editor area is the side panel. If you would prefer that the side bar be on the right side, simply change the setting in the User Interface tab found in the Edit → Preferences menu option. The side panel consists of a file browser, a function reference browser, and a bookmark browser, accessible by clicking on the corresponding sidebar notebook tab.
