  You could try Try navigating to Dashboard -> Pages and clicking “Edit” for the page you want to have a sidebar. Once there, modify the “Page Attributes” module.

  Alternate Sidebar Page
  One of Edin‘s Theme Options https://wordpress.com/theme/edin#theme-options allows you to choose the sidebar’s default position — right or left. The Alternate Sidebar Page template https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-options/#template will overrule this default on a given page, and that page’s sidebar will appear on the opposite side.

  @jayhessey,
  
  @timethief,

  Hi. The feature that @jayhessey asks about in the OP is the Alternate Sidebar Page Template, which (as @timethief indicates) may be chosen in a WP Admin page editor from the drop-down menu at Page Attributes > Template. In the My Sites(s) or Calypso page editor, template options will be found in a drop-down menu at Page Settings > Page Attributes > Page Template.

  I cannot find the Alternate Sidebar page in Theme Options in the Customizer

  Template options aren’t available in Theme Options or anywhere else in the Customizer.

  The Alternate Sidebar Page Template is one of two templates available on the Edin theme that allow the Sidebar Widget Area to be displayed. The other is the Default Template. The only difference between these two templates is that on the Default Template the optional sidebar widget area displays on the right of the page content area, while on the Alternate Sidebar Page Template it displays on the left.
