Hi Chezbrown. What you need to do is:
1. Create a menu for the side bar.
Go to Appearance
> Menu
> Create a menu
> add pages and posts you wish to have on this menu
2. Add this menu to the side bar:
Go to Widgets
> Make sure you are on Main Sidebar
> Click '+' to add a widget
> Add Navigation Menu widget
> Position it where you would like it to be on the side bar
> Select the menu you have created in Step 1
Remember to save each time you are done. Save after you created the new menu. Save after you add it to the side bar.
Hope this helps? :)
With the given interface, you can only do dropdown for Categories and Archives. For the other widgets, you can set the number of posts or pages to show.

I think the best thing to do with new updated things like this is to just go into it and have a muck around checking everything out. It's quite simple once you know where everything is
