Side menu much prettier than the old tabs!

Perhaps a little late for this question, but what's the advantage of a dynamic "sider" over a simple side menu? I would think the main use case would be the ability to show a smaller menu when the sceen is smaller, but this pr doesn't do that.

Also, since tabs are gone the pages no longer have large text showing you which tab you're on... now you have only super-small text in the side menu to know where you are. Not sure if pages need header text added or if I'm just not used to it yet.

I'm not totally sold on the new header text... although the text appears in the same spot for each page, the page layout isn't consistent. Overview and Provenance are aligned with the component below them:

... but Search & Beacon are not:

I also just find them ugly... I know that's not a particularly helpful comment. I wonder if this text wouldn't be better off in the header? Not sure.

aesthetically, I think the bright white header text/button outlines are bit too harsh on the dark header background, but the visual hierarchy with the new sidebar being context for what page/project/dataset we are on works quite well.

maybe the contents of the sidebar should be sticky, so that we can change pages even if scrolled-down?

weird horizontal overflow/scroll, only on overview page on small screen (14" laptop)

So....

• top of the screen is black but side is white?
• current tab indicated from menu only?

... I wasn't sure where we landed on either of these issues.

The "Search" page does not behave consistently: if you load the main page and click Search it shows an overview, but it you load /search it shows zero results.

how will the new file for branding work with our existing instances that replace the logo?

I corrected the filenames to match the previous, so it should be the same as before

icon on both left and right of portal button - on left, the old icon; on right, the link icon. otherwise looks good i think.

The results pane jumps when switching between "Search" and "Beacon", it should be in the same place.
