Working with community widgets

Use the options available from the widget action menu to interact with the widgets in your community. The actions that you can perform depend on your role within the community.

From the community Overview page, click the Actions icon in the title bar of the widget that you want to work with, and then do one of the following actions:

• To expand or collapse the widget content, select Maximize or Minimize.
• To update the widget display, select Refresh.
• To work with widget settings, select Edit. These settings differ depending on the type of widget that you are working with.
  Note: Some widgets cannot be edited, in which case the Edit option does not display on the action menu.
• To temporarily remove the widget from the community, select Hide. You can reactivate the widget at any time by selecting Community Actions > Customize and choosing the widget from the Hidden section of the widget palette. Hiding a widget does not delete the information that you already added. If you add the widget to the community again, any information previously added is restored to the community.
  Notes:

  • You cannot hide the Members and Recent Updates widgets. These widgets are automatically added to every community when it is created and cannot be hidden.
  • When you hide the Bookmarks widget, the Important Bookmarks widget is also hidden.
• To permanently remove the widget from the community, select Remove. Complete the form that displays to confirm that you want to remove the widget, and then click Delete. When you choose this option, all data associated with the widget is permanently deleted so be absolutely sure that the information is no longer required by your community. Alternatively, you can hide the widget if you want to remove it from the community but have the option of adding it back later.
  Notes:

  • You cannot remove the Members and Recent Updates widgets. These widgets are automatically added to every community when it is created, and cannot be removed.
  • When you remove the Bookmarks widget, the Important Bookmarks widget is also removed.
