Widgets are used to customize pages. Listed in this article are the different widgets available in Live Edit. Widgets belong to one of two groups: Content and Modules.
- Content widgets allow adding and editing content directly on a page via Live Edit.
- Modules widgets allow adding module content to a page. This automatically updates pages from modules such as the Calendar or News Flash. This also allows adding content to multiple pages that can be edited in a single location (Info Advanced, Quick Links, or Staff Directory). Content for Modules widgets is edited in the associated module.
If you are unsure which widget contains existing content on a page, please view the article Determining Widget Type.

The "Related Documents Widget" and "Slideshow Widget" links don't seem to be working. It'd be great if these links could be updated. Thanks!
Jessica Abrahams, thank you for bringing this to our attention!
I'm not seeing an error with the Related Documents Widget URL, but the Slideshow Widget URL was indeed broken. That URL has been fixed.
I know how to do it in Editor but see there is a specific widget for Anchors. Is there a tutorial for the Anchor widget itself?
