Text panels

edit

To provide context to your dashboard panels, add Text panels that display important information, instructions, images, and more. You can create Text panels using GitHub-flavored Markdown text.

  1. From your dashboard, select Add panel.
  2. In the Add panel flyout, select Text. A Markdown editor appears and lets you configure the information you want to display.
  3. In the Markdown field, enter your text, then click Update.

For example, when you enter:

Markdown text with links

The following instructions are displayed:

Or when you enter:

Markdown text with image file

The following image is displayed:

Panel with markdown image

For detailed information about writing on GitHub, click Help on the top-right of the Markdown editor.
