Using the Text widget, you can add text content to your layout builder. It is one of the most basic but essential tools in your toolkit.
Open your layout and click to add a new element. By clicking on adding a new element, you'll see a popup including all the widgets available in the library.
Simply choose the Text widget from the Widget list, then it'll be added to the layout's section where you want to add a Text widget.
The Text Widget consists of 4 main setting tabs:
General Settings
Design Settings
Responsive Settings
