How can I add "Sleep" and "Hibernate" options alongside these three options?

Title says it really, I really want to have both the sleep and hibernate option added to this part of my setup, but how? I use the Application Dashboard for when I click the meta button.

Am on NixOS if that has anything to say in the matter.

Figured it out.
Open the Power / Session tab:
Then right click an option, and add/remove as favorite:
- Ahh shoot can't believe I didn't try this... Thanks a million!! 🌻
I’m not familiar with whatever technology this is, but I too would like the option to sleep or hibernate.
Is that the launcher called Application Dashboard? I don't see a way to do what you're asking with that one.
The default one in Plasma 5.27 (Application Launcher) makes the leave buttons somewhat configurable. It might be worth a try.
- Yeah am using Application Dashboard, really like the fullscreen menu, but looks like I might have to do some scripting to add the buttons there myself.
I'm not too familiar with adjusting that menu.
But assuming it's not a simple process you could add a script to your favourites there that does what you need.
- Ye thought so, I'll ask around on KDE forum too to see if I get better luck there before I start scrambling around with scripts. Thanks though 🌻

  See if these do it for you. 🌞
Not sure about how to actually add them to the bottom button list, but this explains how to do the things you want in a slightly different way...
I also use the dashboard.
Alternative: set up keyboard shortcuts for sleep and hibernate.
Personally I configured the power button to sleep instead of shut down, so I just hit that when I'm done at my desktop.
- Thanks, I might do thid in addition to the posted solution in comments 😊
I don’t use Application Dashboard, but on Plasma Drawer if you right click these options, a context menu pops up and allows you to choose what options are presented.
