What Are Widgets?
Widgets are rich content blocks that enhance your MYZO profile beyond simple links. This guide introduces the widget system and explains how widgets can make your profile more engaging.
Understanding Widgets
Widgets allow you to display content directly on your profile rather than just linking to it. Instead of sending visitors away to view your content, you can show it right on your profile page. This keeps visitors engaged and provides a richer experience.
Types of Widgets Available
MYZO offers several types of widgets to showcase different kinds of content:
Text Widget

- Welcome messages for visitors

Quote Widget
Quote widgets display styled quotations with attribution. Use them for:
- Inspirational quotes that represent your values

You can swap widgets between active and saved at any time. This allows you to prepare content in advance and rotate what visitors see.
Why Use Widgets
Widgets provide several advantages for your profile:

Where Widgets Appear
Widgets appear in a dedicated section on your public profile, below your links. The exact position depends on your selected template. Visitors can view and interact with your widgets directly on your profile page.
Widget Display by Template
Different templates display widgets differently:
- Card layouts: Widgets appear in a column
- Grid layouts: Widgets display in a grid pattern
- Full-width layouts: Widgets span the full width
Preview your profile to see how widgets appear with your chosen template.
