# What is a widget?

A **widget** is a building block of content inside a room. Text, images, videos, CTAs, signatures, meetings — each is a widget.

## Why widgets (and not just text)?

You *could* build a proposal with just text and images, like a Google Doc. But then you'd lose:

* **Embedded CTAs** that your buyer clicks to move forward
* **Inline meeting bookings** tied to your calendar
* **Legally binding signatures** captured in the same place
* **Dynamic personalization** that adapts to who's viewing
* **Meeting recordings** with transcripts, embedded inline
* **Brand-consistent design** without a designer

Widgets give you all of that — ready out of the box, styled with your branding, no code.

## The widget catalog

Katalyz has **20+ widgets**, grouped by purpose:

* **Content & storytelling** — Text, Image, Video, Document, Link, Spacer

## Adding a widget

Two ways, depending on where you want to add the widget:

### On a page (or in an action details sidepanel) — drag & drop
1. Open the **floating build bar** at the bottom of the editor.
2. Drag the widget you want.
3. Drop it onto the target page (or into an action details sidepanel).
4. Fill in the content.

### In an action details sidepanel — the **+** button
Inside an action details sidepanel, you can also use the big **[+] button** at the bottom right — it opens a popover with the widget picker.

Once added, widgets can be reordered, duplicated, deleted, and hidden — just like any widget.

## Can I design my own widget?

Not today. The widget catalog is curated — we add new widgets based on customer demand. Suggestions are welcome: email **contact@katalyz.co** or chat with support.
