include 'templates/admin-header.php';
?>

<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
        <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>
        
        <main class="col-md-9 ms-sm-auto col-lg-10 px-md-4">
            <!-- Page Header -->
            <div class="d-flex justify-content-between flex-wrap flex-md-nowrap align-items-center pt-3 pb-2 mb-3 border-bottom">
                <h1 class="h2">
                    <i class="fas fa-icon"></i> Page Title
                </h1>
                <div class="btn-toolbar mb-2 mb-md-0">
                    <!-- Action buttons -->
                </div>
            </div>
            
            <!-- Page Content -->

                <!-- Your content here -->
            </div>
