Configure Widgets

Widget settings are divided into two groups:

a) For this widget: The settings, such as its location and specific FAQs, apply only to this widget. This allows each Widget to have custom FAQs and other features for a subset of site pages, tailoring the content of each page.

b) For all widgets: The settings are shared and common between all widgets, regardless of the page each widget is displayed on. These settings include colors, text, and some other features.

To access the settings:

  1. Go to Help Dialog
  2. Open the Widgets page
  3. Click on the Edit button for the widget you wish to edit
