New developer - AEM 6.1 - Sidekick isn't showing up

Question

I am new to AEM. I am trying to work through the tutorial from here:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/the-basics/website.html

This tutorial refers to the 'sidekick', but I have followed the tutorial to the letter, and I don't get a sidekick nor see where to add it. If I open the Chrome developer tools, and from the console try to force it - I get an error.

I'm trying to add this JS code to the console to get the sidekick to show up:

CQ.WCM.launchSidekick("/content/mywebsite/en/products", {propsDialog: "/libs/foundation/components/page/dialog", locked: false locked: false });

The error is:

VM10206:2 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:878:140)

at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:811:34)

at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:667:21)

There is also a prior error in the console for the page too:

VM11751:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o

(anonymous function) @ editor.js:25541

jQuery.event.dispatch @ jquery.js:4665

elemData.handle @ jquery.js:4333

This appears to be related to this string before the <!DOCTYPE html> tag on the page:

My question is, what am I doing wrong?

HiBy default page openes in touch UI, you can change it to classic UI by replacing editor.html in url to cf#.Try inserting /cf#/ after the host in place of /editor.html/. As a default there will be /editor.html/ .Try this :-http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/mywebsite/en.htmlI hope this would help you.Thanks and RegardsKautuk Sahni
