Your component maybe restricted by entity type or the Component isn't available for selection.

Your component may not be available in the sidebar browser if it's availability has been restricted to certain entity types. For more information, see [Restricting where a component can be used.](/drupal-starter-kits/add-ons/site-studio/restricting-where-component-can-be-used "Restricting where a component can be used")

The component may also not be appearing in the sidebar browser if you have 'Enable selection' unticked within the Component settings. For more information, see [Managing your components](/drupal-starter-kits/add-ons/site-studio/managing-your-components "Managing your components").
