Bricks provides you with its own, built-in sidebar generator. Located in your WordPress dashboard under **Bricks > Sidebars** it lets you to create unlimited sidebars (widgetized areas).

All you need to do is give your sidebar a name and description (optional), and click Create new sidebar.

Once your custom sidebar is created go to **Appearance > Widgets** and drag and drop the widgets of your choice into your newly created sidebar.

You can now add this newly created sidebar inside the builder by dragging the **Sidebar** element onto the canvas.
