# Text

> Add titles, descriptions, and rich formatting to dashboards using Markdown.

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][ref-workbooks], 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](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/) 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.
