Create text widgets

Customise the story or topic card and add the widgets of your choice. To create a widget, click on the 'Data' tab, click on the configuration wheel at the top right of the card, or on the 'Add new widget,' button and select the 'Text widget' option.

In the text widget, you can add important messages, story editing guidelines and information. To customise the widgets, a toolbar is available to format the text, add images or emojis and create hyperlinks. When you have finished creating the widget, click on the save icon in the top corner of the widget.

Heads-up: To display the widget to all users with access to the tab, click on the three dots in the top corner of the widget and select the "Publish" option. Otherwise, the widget will only be visible to users who are authorised to manage the tab.
