Add Sidebar Element

Select the type of element to add:

Site Metadata

Recommended length: 50-60 characters
Recommended length: 150-160 characters
Example: G-XXXXXXXXXX or UA-XXXXXXXX-X
Set the primary language of your site content. Chrome will offer to translate if visitor's language is different.
Use this if the site is under development or shouldn't appear in search results
When enabled, the copyright text shows at the bottom of the sidebar.
This text appears in the sidebar footer and inside the copyright overlay.
Upload an image file for your site favicon (recommended: 32x32px or 16x16px, PNG or ICO format)

Custom HTML site (full bypass)

Upload one self-contained HTML file (e.g. from an AI tool). When enabled, visitors to the site root see only that file — not the Hydra menu or gallery. To log in and edit, open /_manage on your domain, then press + (numpad + or Shift+= on US keyboards) to log in or toggle edit mode, then open Site Metadata from the edit bar.

No HTML file uploaded yet.

Import Galleries from JSON or Classic GUID

Paste the full site JSON into the text area below, OR enter the GUID of a classic gallery collection.

OR
Use a GUID to fetch from classic site, or use import_ format to fetch from R2 storage.
If checked, the current menu will be deleted and replaced with the imported items. If unchecked, imported items will be added to the current menu.
