Pre-requisites:

You have a github account, and understand git basics
You have a google account
You understand the basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Have node/npm installed for local development
This tutorial assumes that you are using MacOS, Chrome and Visual Studio Code as part of your development environment.

    If you can access your page using https://<branch>--<repo>--<owner>.aem.page/, it means you have previewed the page.

      If sidekick extension installed and running properly,
      you may add the project and remove the project as shown it here.

        If you are using Google Chrome then check extension (chrome://extensions/)
        is the sidekick have errors or not. if you are using this in your company laptop then there will be security policy will remove the extension.

        Some companies enable it in Edge browser. (Still, you can install Chrome extensions in Edge browser because both are made using Chromium).

        I have different issue, I deleted my google drive folder, but still, I can access proxy link with content. 
        So, Adobe helix caching somewhere. 

        Lack of document issues with ADOBE (Only happy scenarios are documented)

        Hi,

         

        If you left-click your sidekick on either google drive or the published page, does it appear? If you see it in your Google Drive, you should be able to select the files and preview / publish them.

        @kautuk_sahni @abhishekty Below are the images where I created a folder and provide access to helix@adobe.com.
        Also, created index, nav and footer documents within this. These documents are also got shared by default with helix@adobe.com

        I configure helix sidekick extension in my chrome. But, somehow I am not able to see Add to Side Kick option.
        Though I am able to see Add To Sidekick for the OOTB shared content drive. 

         


        Not able to see Add to Side Kick option. Please suggest !!!

         


        For OOTB I am able to see. But, above for custom not seeing same options.
