Working with widgets

The Console Home dashboard includes widgets that display important information about your AWS environment and provide shortcuts to your services. You can customize your experience by adding and removing widgets, rearranging them, or changing their size.

To add a widget

1. On the upper or lower right of the Console Home dashboard, choose the +Add widgets button.

2. Choose the drag indicator, represented by six vertical dots in the upper left of the widget title bar, and then drag it to your Console Home dashboard.

To remove a widget

1. Choose the ellipsis, represented by three vertical dots in the upper right of the widget title bar.

2. Choose Remove widget.

To rearrange your widgets

• Choose the drag indicator, represented by six vertical dots in the upper left of the widget title bar, and then drag the widget to a new location on your Console Home dashboard.

To resize a widget

• Choose the resize icon at the bottom right of the widget, and then drag to resize the widget.

If you want to start over with organizing and setting up your widgets, you can reset the Console Home dashboard to the default layout. This will revert your changes to the Console Home dashboard layout, and restore all the widgets to their default location and size.

To reset the page to the default layout

1. On the upper right of the page, choose the Reset to default layout button.

2. To confirm, choose Reset.

Note

This will revert all your changes to the layout of the Console Home dashboard.

To request a new widget in the Console Home dashboard

1. On the lower left of the Console Home dashboard, choose Want to see another widget? Tell us!

   Describe the widget that you want to see added in the Console Home dashboard.

2. Choose Submit.

   Note

   Your suggestions are periodically reviewed and new widgets might be added in future updates to the AWS Management Console.
