Before you can add a widget to a page, you must make sure it's available for use. Either:

- Select Available in Page Elements pane in the Properties pane when the widget is open.
- Hover over the widget in the Widgets view on the Overview tab, select **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Edit Properties**, and select Available in Page Elements pane.

When the page is open:

1. Drag the widget from the Widgets section of the Page Elements pane onto the page.
    
    When you add a widget to a page, it creates a copy or instance of the widget. You can't edit this widget instance.
2. If available, update the properties in the widget instance's Properties pane.
