Widgets overview

Open Widgets in the sidebar to see all your widgets. For each widget the list shows its type, title, the data sources it uses, its scope (internal or external use) and when it was last updated. Click a widget to change its settings, or use the ⋯ menu in the Options column.

To create a new widget, click Add new widget and follow the guide. To see which layouts are available, see Widget types.

A widget’s settings are grouped in tabs. Some settings only appear for certain layouts, or when search or chat is turned on.
