Question

I have Account controller which contains actions like “change password”, “change email”, etc.
Every view will have the same sidebar, which I want to abstract out to additional account layout.

 application layout (header, footer)         
              \/
 account layout (sidebar)
              \/
             view

Is it possible to do without editing layouts/application?

I have tried to create app/view/layouts/account.html.erb, and use yield inside, but in this case, rails skips layouts/application and starts with layouts/account.
