# Notepad

> Rich-text notes and images embedded directly on the dashboard.

The **notepad widget** adds a rich-text block to a dashboard. Use it for section headers, dashboard context, team-facing annotations, or embedded screenshots — anything that isn't data but adds narrative or structure to the report.

## When to use a notepad

* **Section headers** between widget groups.
* **Executive summaries** at the top of a dashboard.
* **Client-facing explanations** of what a metric or dashboard shows.
* **Screenshots or logos** embedded inline with data widgets.

## Add a notepad

Click **+ Add widget** in the dashboard header and pick **Notepad** from the catalog. A blank notepad appears on the grid — resize and reposition it like any other widget.

## Editing content

The notepad supports:

* **Rich text** — headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, numbered lists, links.
* **Images** — drag-and-drop or paste an image into the editor; images upload to Adriel and render inline.

**Only one notepad can be in editing mode at a time on a dashboard.** Clicking into a second notepad automatically closes the first.

Changes save automatically when the notepad loses focus. A confirmation toast appears on save; if the save fails, an error toast appears.

## Duplicating a notepad

When a notepad is duplicated, the original content is copied into the new notepad — including embedded images. The duplicated widget opens in editing mode automatically.

## On shared or embedded dashboards

Notepad images embedded in a dashboard render correctly on:

* **Owner-viewed dashboards** — images load directly from Adriel's media store using the owner's session.
* **Shared and embedded dashboards** — images load via a signed token so viewers without direct Adriel access can still see them.

No configuration is needed — the sharing token handoff happens automatically.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="An image isn't rendering in a shared dashboard">
    Shared and embedded dashboards require a valid media token. If images load for the dashboard owner but not for shared viewers, contact support at [support@adriel.com](mailto:support@adriel.com).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Edits aren't saving">
    Confirm the network is connected and that the dashboard is in edit mode. A failed save shows a red toast; retry by clicking outside the notepad again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The notepad disappeared from the report PDF">
    Notepads render in report mode. If a notepad is missing from PDF export, confirm the widget is inside the dashboard grid area (not overlapping a page break).
