# Text Widget
As you add more tiles, a dashboard can start to feel like a jumble. The **Text widget** is the simple fix: it drops a heading or a note onto the board so you can group things and label them. "Upstairs", "Garden", "Security" — a few text labels turn a crowded screen into tidy, easy-to-scan sections.
It doesn't show any sensor data — it's purely there to organize and explain.
## Handy for
* **Section headings** — separate "Living Room", "Kids' Rooms", and "Outside" on one dashboard.
* **Little notes** — a reminder next to a group of tiles, like "Check these before bed."
* **Naming areas** — label each room or zone so anyone in the house knows what they're looking at.
## Adding a Text widget
1. In dashboard edit mode, pick **Text** from the widget picker.
2. Fill in:
* **Widget name** *(required)* — the heading text. Placeholder *"Enter widget name."*
* **Description** — optional text under the heading. You can write more than one line, so it works for a short note as well as a title.
3. Tap **Save**.
Then resize and move it like any tile — stretch it wide as a banner across the top of a section, or keep it small as a little label beside a group of readings. With a few text labels and your dashboard folders, even a busy home dashboard stays easy to read.

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://docs.chirpwireless.io/dashboards/adding-widgets/text-widget.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
