Dashboard: Add documentation sidebar (#836)

* Add sidebar for documentation

Instead of opening a new tab to the documentation when users click on the info button on a section header, the documentation is integrated onto the dashboard and is shown through a drawer style ui

* update documentation

still may be wrong link

* remove unused styling

* fix importing issues

* move function to GeneralFunctions

Future pr needs to split up generalFunctions

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
