I have no idea what to do. The night before i added extra water. To 57 percent and by mornin the it drops like crazy

Humidity is an average over the first 18 days so dropping low or going high is fine as long as the average is in the correct range.

Use a dish of water (baby food jar, measuring cup...), and put a sponge or paper towel in it. The more the absorbent hangs out, the higher the humidity.

Oh thanks so much I was wondering what to do!

Remember that humidity is based on surface area of the water and not the depth of the water.

What kind of incubator do you have?

An incuview

An incuview

Does this sound correct?

Humidity

Built-in humidity rings and dial hygrometer (for humidity monitoring) allows the user to easily control humidity. The humidity guage doesn’t just display the humidity percent, it shows you what range you should keep your humidity at for each phase of the incubation cycle. The flow-over humidity rings make it easy to fill just one, two, or all three humidity rings.

Welcome to the Hatch-Along, how many eggs did you set.

Thank you... @casportpony I assume, for moving our posts to the right thread.
