Widgets
Elementi 2020 comes with more than 250+ widgets. Each widget offers different parameters / properties 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 Browse panel and are divided into several collections, as detailed below.
To use any resource from the widget library, follow these steps:

- Navigate inside the collection holding the widget you want to use.
- The built-in widgets can be opened for viewing directly from the "Widgets" tab, but they cannot be modified.
- Drag and drop the widget into the Preview panel or into the Edit panel.
- The widget is automatically copied into the active project.
