# Edit a widget

You can edit an existing widget in the dashboard or report, or in the **Widgets Library**. If editing a widget in the **Widgets Library**, it is available to all users. If editing a widget in a dashboard or a report directly, the original widget in the **Widgets Library** is unaffected.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

Not all widgets are editable, such as system widgets.
{% endhint %}

1. Create or edit a dashboard or a report.
2. From the widget, select ![gear-icon.png](/files/5eJdRPoUIMR1eQN0UZPV) → **Edit widget** .

   The edits to the widget in the dashboard or report, appear only for the dashboard or report. If you want to make changes that are available for other users, dashboards, or reports, edit the widget directly in the **Widgets Library** by clicking the pencil edit icon. You can then adjust the size and move the widget as required.

   If the widget is not in a dashboard or report, you need to add the widget.
3. Edit the widget in the **Widgets Library** by following the procedure in [Create a widget using the widget builder](/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.13/configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards-and-reports/widgets/create-a-widget-using-the-widget-builder.md).
4. Click **Save**.

# 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-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.13/configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards-and-reports/widgets/edit-a-widget.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.
