If you can't find that specific widget on the widget browser, no worries—you can just build it yourself!
After building it, you can always add it to your canvas later at any time.
What is a Widget Browser?
A widget browser is a interface that allows users to explore, search, and locate various widgets when selecting widgets to be added to a canvas. In addition, it allows to generate new widgets when none meet their specified criteria.
Let's see how to build a widget easily right from your canvas.
On the app homepage, head to the Gallery tab on the left sidebar.
Choose the canvas.
If there is a list of canvases on the Gallery, you can search for the required Canvas by typing its name/partial name under Search Canvases.
Click on the canvas to open it in a new window
On the canvas, click on the Add Widget button. The widget browser will open.
Search and locate your widget.
Type in the widget's name in the search box.
If you don't find any matching widgets in the search results, click the Build a new Widget button that appears.
Select a template to build the widget.
Click Edit this template. Your widget will open on the widget designer page, allowing you to apply the required customisations and design your widget.
If your search finds no widgets, you'll see the Build a new Widget button.
