Elementi 2023 comes with more than 250 widgets, each offering different parameters that the user can change from the interface, thus allowing for further customization of the widget functionality without having to modify the code behind. These resources are accessible using the "Widgets" tab within the Browse panel and are divided into several collections, as detailed below.
