In the dashboard builder, add widgets using the toolbar at the top of the canvas: pick reports from the **Charts** picker to add charts, use the **Add Widgets** menu for text, AI summaries, and layout elements, or add a **Filter** or **Time Granularity** control from the **Add Controls** group.

## Adding widgets

Add widgets from the toolbar at the top of the dashboard builder: pick reports from the **Charts** picker to add charts, use the **Add Widgets** menu for text, AI summaries, and layout elements, or add a **Filter** or **Time Granularity** control from the **Add Controls** group.

Each toolbar item can be added in two ways:
23+
24+
- **Click** it to drop the widget into the first open spot on the canvas.
25+
- **Drag** it from the toolbar onto the canvas to place it exactly where you want. As you drag, a full-size placeholder previews the widget's footprint and the surrounding widgets reflow to open a slot; release to drop it there. Dragging is especially handy on dense dashboards, where clicking would otherwise place the new widget far down the page.

Dragging a toolbar item to place it exactly (drag-to-place) is currently in preview, and the behavior may still change. Reach out to the [Cube support team](/admin/account-billing/support) to activate it for your account. Clicking to add a widget is available to everyone.
