# Understanding Header Widget

## Overview

---

**Header Widgets** are interactive elements designed to enhance the user experience by streamlining workflows and improving workspace organisation. They allow you to create visually distinctive section headers, helping to structure content clearly and effectively. In addition to labelling sections, you can add shortcut links to enable quick navigation between key areas, such as **creating a new item**, **navigating to a module**, **opening a URL**, or **linking to another workspace**—making your workspace more intuitive and efficient.

## Understanding Header Widgets

Once a **Header Widget** has been configured, it will appear on the **Workspace**. Users with **Creator**, **Co-owner**, or **Editor** permissions can **drag and drop** the widget to **reposition** and **resize** it as needed.

Clicking the card will trigger the configured action.
