# Text

The Text Widget is used to add custom text to the dashboard, allowing notes, instructions, or any other textual information to be included directly within the workspace.

To add a Text Widget, right-click on the dashboard to open the context menu. Navigate to the Design section and select Text. The widget will be added to the dashboard, allowing text input and formatting.

To edit the text in the Text Widget, the edit icon (pencil) in the top right corner of the widget should be clicked. This will enable text editing, allowing changes to be made. After editing, clicking the cross button will save the changes.

Images can be inserted into the Text Widget. The image icon in the toolbar may be clicked to access this feature. Two options are provided: uploading from a computer or inserting via URL. After an image is added, it can be resized or repositioned within the widget as needed. This functionality allows visual elements to be incorporated alongside text.
