Widgets

Reusable building blocks you place on your Blackboard.


Widget Types

Widgets are the building blocks of the Blackboard. Every piece of content you place on the canvas is a widget. Lenzro ships with a rich set of built-in widget types:

  • Text — Headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, callouts.
  • Image — Upload or embed images from a URL.
  • Video — Embed YouTube, Vimeo, or upload a video file.
  • Chart — Bar, line, pie, and scatter charts connected to page data.
  • Table — A mini spreadsheet or a live view of a structured page.
  • Kanban Board — Drag-and-drop task board.
  • Embed — Embed any URL using an iframe.
  • File — Preview or download an attached file.
  • Code — Syntax-highlighted code blocks.
  • Divider — Visual section separators.

Adding Widgets

There are three ways to add a widget to the Blackboard:

  1. Press the + button in the toolbar and choose a widget type.
  2. Press / on the canvas to open the command palette and type a widget name.
  3. Drag a widget from the widget panel on the right edge.

Configuring Widgets

Every widget has a settings panel accessible by clicking the icon when the widget is selected. Common settings include:

  • Size & Position — Exact pixel controls or free drag.
  • Style — Background colour, border, padding, shadow.
  • Data Source (for chart/table widgets) — link to a page schema.
  • Visibility — Show/hide the widget based on conditions.
  • Lock — Prevent accidental editing or moving.
