# Add a Widget to a Dashboard

You can add a widget to an existing or a new dashboard.

1. [Create](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/customize-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards/create-a-dashboard.md) or [edit a dashboard](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/customize-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards/edit-a-dashboard.md).
2. In the **Widgets Library** section, search for the widget you want to add and click **Add**.
3. To edit the widget, select the Settings wheel → **Edit Widget**.
4. To edit the widget follow the procedure in [Create a Widget using the Widget Builder](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/customize-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/widgets/create-a-widget-using-the-widget-builder.md).

   When editing a widget after adding it to a dashboard, the changes apply only to the widget in that specific dashboard. To make changes to a widget and have the changes apply to other dashboards and reports and be available to all users, edit the widget directly in the **Widget Library** on the left, before adding to a dashboard or report.
5. Click **Save**.

   By default, a widget inherits the date range that you specify when creating the widget. If the date range for the report or dashboard does not include the widget date range, the data is blank. To change the widget’s date range, click the gear icon and select **Use Widget’s date range** or **Use Dashboard’s date range**. By default, the dashboard’s date range is used and the option in the dropdown shows as **Use Widget’s date range**. If you change this to use the widget’s date range, the dropdown then shows the option to **Use Dashboard’s date range**.

## 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/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/customize-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/dashboards/add-a-widget-to-a-dashboard.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.
