      See this, is very simple. I put a ColumnLayout in a drawer and modified the content to have a space to a header in the drawer and your actions list.

      Drawer {
      id: drawer
      width: Math.min(window.width, window.height) / 3 * 2
      height: window.height

      ColumnLayout {
          anchors.fill: parent
          Rectangle {
              width: drawer.width
              height: 100
              
              Label {
                  text: "Change this pane as you desire"
                  anchors.centerIn: parent
                  wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
              }
          }
          
          ListView {
              id: listView
              currentIndex: -1
              Layout.fillWidth: true
              Layout.fillHeight: true
              
              delegate: ItemDelegate {
                  width: parent.width
                  text: model.title
                  highlighted: ListView.isCurrentItem
                  onClicked: {
                      if (listView.currentIndex != index) {
                          listView.currentIndex = index
                          titleLabel.text = model.title
                          stackView.replace(model.source)
                      }
                      drawer.close()
                  }
              }
              
              model: ListModel {
                  ListElement { title: "Get New Pages"; source: "qrc:/pages/get_new_pages.qml" }
                  ListElement { title: "Manage Pages"; source: "qrc:/pages/manage_pages.qml" }
                  
                  
              }
              
              ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
          }
      }
      

      }
