ℹ️ Widgets

💡 Introduction

The platform administrator can place Widgets to promote features or content. In addition to a set of predefined Widgets, individually designed Widgets can be created, each consisting of a picture, text, and a link. These custom Widgets can be published to promote specific content tailored to the platform's needs.
