Dashboard Widgets: Add New Widget Inline

SmartSuite dashboards now let you drop new widgets exactly where you need them. Instead of always landing at the bottom of the layout, a subtle + icon appears between existing widgets on hover; choose any item from the Widget Library and it is placed right in that spot—keeping your dashboard flow intact.

Key Highlights

  • Inline + Add Widget control surfaces between widgets as you hover.

  • Opens the full Widget Library, so every widget type is available in-context.

  • Honors current row / column sizing so the new widget fits the surrounding layout automatically.

  • Keyboard-accessible: press Tab to focus the inline control, then Enter to open the library.

  • Works in both grid and free-form dashboard layouts.

  • Fully backwards-compatible—existing dashboards gain the feature instantly, with no migration required.

How it Works

  • Hover anywhere between two widgets and click the floating + button that appears.

  • The Widget Library opens; pick the widget you want to add.

  • SmartSuite inserts the chosen widget precisely where the inline control was shown.

  • Drag-and-drop or resize as usual to fine-tune your dashboard.

This update makes building pixel-perfect dashboards faster and more intuitive—no more dragging new widgets from the bottom of the page back up to their intended positions.
