Answer 1

<Drawer.Navigator
      drawerContent={(props) => <CustomDrawerContent {...props} />}
      >
      <Drawer.Screen
        name="RootStack"
        component={RootStack}
      />
     
 </Drawer.Navigator>

customDrawerContent: component that contains items to be listed on the side bar: check this link for that part https://stackoverflow.com/a/64173773/7689878 .

To achieve the drawer remaining after navigating back keep only the RootStack(should contain all stack screens) in the Drawer Navigator.

Use this way...

function MyDrawer() {
  const dimensions = useWindowDimensions();

  return (
    <Drawer.Navigator
      screenOptions={{
        drawerType: 'permanent',
      }}
    >
      {/* Screens */}
    </Drawer.Navigator>
  );
}
