Text widget

The Text widget is the workhorse of every room. Use it for intros, context, explanations, narratives, and anything that needs words.

Adding a Text widget drops in an empty block with the placeholder "Ajoutez votre contenu / Add your content". Just click and start typing.

Two toolbars to know

Text has two distinct toolbars, each surfacing at a different moment:

Selection pill — appears above the widget when you click to select the widget itself. For the Text widget it's minimal: a Design chip (opens the contextual Design panel) and a ⋮ More menu with Duplicate and Delete. There's no Size / Edit resource / Edit content chip, because text is always edited inline.
In-text formatting toolbar — appears when you actually select some text inside the widget (see The formatting toolbar below).

When to use it

Welcome message at the top of the room
Context-setting before a pricing table
Narrative explanation of a case study
"How it works" descriptions
Legal notices or disclaimers

Type normally; on selection, a floating toolbar appears above the text with, left to right:

Font family — dropdown (e.g. Arial)
Font size — in px
Alignment — left / center / right
Text color — color picker
Highlight — marker color
Bold (B)
Italic (I)
Underline (U)
Strikethrough (S)
Bullet list
Numbered list
Link — linkify the selection with a URL
Insert image — drop an image inline

Length matters

Short chunks (2–4 sentences) — best for email-first buyers who skim
Medium (1–2 paragraphs) — good for explanatory context
Long (5+ paragraphs) — consider breaking into multiple widgets with headings

Nobody wants to read a wall of text. If you're writing more than a paragraph, look for ways to break it into a Steps, Timeline, or structured layout.

Best practices

Lead with what the buyer cares about, not what you want to say
Use active voice — "We deliver" > "Delivery is provided by us"
Short sentences, short paragraphs — sales writing isn't literature
Bold key phrases for scanning readers (but don't overdo it)

Inserting variables

Type $ anywhere in a text widget to open the variables dropdown. Pick a built-in field (room name, owner) or a custom field to insert. The variable is replaced with the actual value when the room renders. See Using variables in text.
