Widgets are blocks that display information. They can be added to documents on the site, to the home page and to the sidebar(s) of the site.

Adding/editing widgets

To get to the widget edit screen, you first need to click a link. If you want to edit the home page or a sidebar, click the "Edit column layout" link that appears on the top of the homepage/sidebar. If you want to edit the widgets of a document, click the "Edit" link on the top of the document.

The widget edit screen displays a list of widgets that are currently added to the document. Below each widgets, links are present to edit, move or remove the widget. On the bottom of the page, there are links to add a new widget.
