Example

1. Open the Community app and click Community > Member Experience at the top of the page.
2. Click Portal Content.
3. From the View Widgets for menu, select the community.
   This step applies only if you have multiple communities.
4. In the Create a new widget area, click Text.
5. In the Widget Name field, type a name for the widget (maximum 55 characters).
   The widget name is not visible to members.
6. In the Title field, type the widget title (maximum 40 characters).
7. In the Text field, type the text content.
   Tip: Avoid using widgets for long-form content. If necessary, separate long-form content into multiple widgets. Long-form content requires significant scrolling for members to adequately view.
8. Optional: Format widget text.
9. Click Save.
   Result: The widget appears at the top of the Widgets pane and a preview of the widget appears in the Preview area.
10. Optional: To show or hide the widget, on the Widget toolbar, click the Show/Hide button.
    

    Note: Hidden widgets appear dimmed in the Widgets pane.
    Result: The application automatically saves the changes you make to the show/hide setting. However, the changes are not live until you click Publish.
11. To get an idea of how the widgets are arranged on the portal home page, click Preview.
    Result: A preview of the portal home page opens in a new tab.
12. To publish widget changes, click Publish.
