# Sidebar menu

The Sidebar Menu is displayed for mobile users and other small screens. It is displayed as a hamburger menu on small screens.

{% hint style="info" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If your store supports multiple regions and languages, those selectors will be displayed within the menu drawer by default.
{% endhint %}

### Settings

* **Menu:** This allows you to select the navigation menu for this section.
* **Enable search:** Displays a search link within the menu.
* **Colors**:
  * **Color scheme**: Choose the base color scheme for the sidebar menu
  * If a **Color Scheme Transition** is applied in this section, navigating to a submenu will cause the section color scheme to transition. No transition will be applied if there is no submenu.

### Blocks

Promotion blocks can be added to the menu to draw attention to key links in your store by using images.

* **Menu item:** Determines which menu item to display the promo block under. This must match the menu item exactly. If your menu item is not displaying, double check for any extra space characters.&#x20;
* **Image:** Select an image for your promotion item.
* **Image ratio:** Choose between **Adapt, Portrait, Square** or **Landscape** to control the image aspect ratio.
* **Link and label:** Set the link for your promotion block here. We always recommend using a visible text label for this block for greater accessibility. If you do not include visible label text and your image does not have descriptive alt text, this constitutes a WCAG violation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ultramarinastudios.com/sections/sidebar-menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
