The widget palette contains the widgets that you can add
to a page if you are the owner or editor of the page.
When you select
Edit Page, the widget palette
opens and displays the widgets that you can add to your page. The
widget palette has a toolbar that contains the following tools:
- The category selector lists the categories and the number of widgets
in each category. By default, the palette displays all of the available
widgets.
- The search filter
removes from the
palette the widgets that do not contain the characters that you typed
into the filter somewhere in their name or description. For example,
if you type web into the filter, the palette
contains only the widgets that have "web" anywhere in their name or
description as consecutive characters. Because the filtering action
is continuous, as you add characters to the filter, the palette updates.
- The description area displays a description and an icon or preview
image. The area updates whenever you move the cursor to a new widget.
- The
button opens the area that
contains the widgets that are on the page but are not visible.
- The
button opens a
list of layouts that you can apply to the page.
- The Save button saves your changes without
closing the palette and leaving the editing mode.
You can drag a widget from the palette onto the page. When you
start dragging the widget, the following actions occur:
- The preview image of the widget that you are dragging is visible
beside the cursor.
- When the cursor reaches an area on the page where you can drop
the widget, you can see a dashed box showing the potential location
of the widget.
In addition to dragging a widget from the palette onto the page,
you can use the

buttons. One is
with the widget and one is in the description. Clicking either one
adds the widget to a default location on the page. From this location,
you can drag the new widget to a location that you prefer.
Restriction: If you are using product spaces on an iPad, you
cannot drag a widget. Instead, use the

button and the
Move options
in the widget menu.
