# Widget Library

The **Widget Library** is a centralized, shared repository for managing dashboard and report components. You can access the **Widget Library** as part of the dashboard and report builders, or from **Dashboards & Reports > Dashboard Manager > Widget Library.**

The Widget library allows you to:

* **Browse components:** Search and filter existing widgets by name, type, owner, or dataset to add them directly to custom layouts. Hovering over a widget displays its description, and clicking provides a live preview utilizing real or mock data.
* **Manage widgets:** Organize existing widgets, including editing widget parameters, settings, and transferring ownership.
* **Create new widgets:** Build new widgets using XQL queries, scripts, or by using AI. For more information, see [Create custom widgets](/cortex-xdr-5.x/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/advanced-configuration/create-custom-widgets.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/overview-of-dashboards-and-reports/widget-library.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
