Text Widgets

You can add Text widgets to create titles and texts that stand out, or when you want to add more descriptive explanations to your dashboard and surrounding visualizations.

In the Text widget's settings, you can find plenty of options for creating different text styles. Some examples of what you can do include changing the font color, selecting a background color, adding hyperlinks, and defining the text alignment.
