Apps Script\ndialogs are modal; while they are opened the user can't interact with the\nother elements of the editor interface. You can customize the content and size\nof dialogs.\n\nYou build add-on dialogs the same way as Apps Script\n[custom dialogs](/apps-script/guides/dialogs#custom_dialogs); the general\nrecommended procedure is the following:\n\n1. Create a script project file that defines your dialog's HTML structure, CSS, and client-side JavaScript behavior. When defining the dialog, refer to the [Editor add-on style guidelines](/workspace/add-ons/guides/editor-style#dialogs).\n2. In your server-side code where you want the dialog to open, call [`HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(filename)`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-service#createhtmloutputfromfilefilename) to create an [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output) object representing the dialog. Alternatively, if you are using [templated HTML](/apps-script/guides/html/templates) you can call [`HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(filename)`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-service#createtemplatefromfilefilename) to generate a template and then [`HtmlTemplate.evaluate()`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-template#evaluate()) to convert it to an [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output) object.\n3. Call [`Ui.showModalDialog(htmlOutput, dialogTitle)`](/apps-script/reference/base/ui#showModalDialog(Object,String)) to display the dialog using that [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output).\n\nDialogs don't suspend the server-side script while they are open. The\nclient-side JavaScript can make asynchronous calls to the server-side\nusing [`google.script.run()`](/apps-script/guides/html/reference/run) and\nassociated handler functions. For more details, see\n[Client-to-server communication](/apps-script/guides/html/communication).\n\n### File-open dialogs\n\n*File-open dialogs* are pre-built dialogs that let your users select files\nfrom their Google Drive. You can add a file-open dialog to your add-on without\nneeding to design it, but it requires some additional configuration. You also\nrequire access to the add-on's\n[Cloud Platform project](/apps-script/guides/cloud-platform-projects)\nin order to enable the Google Picker API.\n\nFor full details, see [File-open dialogs](/apps-script/guides/dialogs#file-open_dialogs).\n\nSidebars\n--------\n\n*Sidebars* are panels that appear in the right of the editor interface, and\nare the most common type of add-on interface. Unlike dialogs, you can continue\nto interact with the other elements of the editor interface while a sidebar is\nopen. Sidebars have a fixed width, but you can customize their content.\n\nYou build add-on sidebars the same way as Apps Script\n[custom sidebars](/apps-script/guides/dialogs#custom_sidebars); the general\nrecommended procedure is the following:\n\n1. Create a script project file that defines your sidebar's HTML structure, CSS, and client-side JavaScript behavior. When defining the sidebar, refer to the [Editor add-on style guidelines](/workspace/add-ons/guides/editor-style#sidebars).\n2. In your server-side code where you want the sidebar to open, call\n [`HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(filename)`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-service#createhtmloutputfromfilefilename)\n to create an [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output)\n object representing the sidebar. Alternatively, if you are using\n [templated HTML](/apps-script/guides/html/templates) you can call\n [`HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(filename)`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-service#createtemplatefromfilefilename)\n to generate a template and then\n [`HtmlTemplate.evaluate()`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-template#evaluate())\n to convert it to an\n [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output) object.\n\n | **Note:** Add-on sidebars have a fixed width of 300 pixels that you can't alter by calling [`HtmlOutput.setWidth(width)`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output#setwidthwidth).\n3. Call [`Ui.showSidebar(htmlOutput)`](/apps-script/reference/base/ui#showSidebar(Object))\n to display the sidebar using that\n [`HtmlOutput`](/apps-script/reference/html/html-output).\n\nSidebars don't suspend the server-side script while they are open. The\nclient-side JavaScript can make asynchronous calls to the server-side\nusing [`google.script.run()`](/apps-script/guides/html/reference/run) and\nassociated handler functions.
