    "globaltoc_maxdepth": 1,
}

expectation

The left sidebar table of contents has a depth of 3.

Is the sphinx-book-theme supposed to respect "globaltoc_maxdepth"? Does anyone know how to limit the depth of the left sidebar table of contents?

It seems like maybe the left sidebar table of contents maxdepth is hard-coded as 4?

Maybe I can customize the left sidebar with these instructions. https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-book-theme/blob/master/docs/sections/sidebar-primary.md

Ok I got this working. I copyed the file sbt-sidebar-nav.html to a local file sphinx_book_theme_override/sbt-sidebar-nav-override.html and changed it to read maxdepth=2,.

Then in conf.py:

templates_path = ['_templates', './sphinx_book_theme_override']

html_sidebars = {
    "**": ["navbar-logo.html", "sbt-sidebar-nav-override.html"]
}

But it would be nice if the sphinx_book_theme respected globaltoc_maxdepth. So I'll leave this issue open.
