Typography Blocks

Add titles, subtitles, and text, and turn a text block into a link.

A Text block selected in the dashboard editor, with the Edit button highlighted — Select the Text block and click Edit (1). The settings panel opens on the left.

A Text block adds written information to a dashboard. Use it for a page title, section heading, explanation, instruction, or note. The text appears directly on the dashboard without a card around it.

Write and format the text
