# How Do I Add a Widget to my Dashboard?

## Depending on your license, you'll be able to add new widgets to your custom dashboards to tell the right story, and align to your client's culture and brand.

*You'll have some or all of these options available to help tailor both the data and insights you include in your report, and the way you present them. You'll need to make sure you working in a custom report in "My Dashboards", and not an Actionable Preset. (Learn about [copying Presets here](https://knowledge.actionable.co/en/how-do-i-make-changes-to-a-preset-dashboard)).*
