Skip to main content
Text widgets render Markdown content directly on the dashboard. Use them to add narrative, structure, and context around your charts.

​
Adding a text widget

In the dashboard builder, click Add Text in the toolbar. A new text widget is added to the canvas with an empty editor.

​
Use cases

  • Add a dashboard title or section headings to break long dashboards into scannable chunks
  • Explain what stakeholders are looking at and how to interpret the numbers
  • Link out to related dashboards, runbooks, or documentation
  • Embed images, callouts, and formatted lists

​
Supported syntax

Text widgets support standard Markdown — see the Markdown Guide for a full reference of supported syntax.

​
Editing

Click the widget’s settings menu and choose Edit to open the Markdown editor. The widget renders as you type so you can preview formatting before saving. Use Hide Title in the same menu to suppress the widget’s title bar when the Markdown content already provides its own heading.
