2. Select EmployeeWorks Web AppAdmin editor in the bottom-right corner to enter edit mode.
3. Select the edit icon on a widget to open its configuration panel.  
   Each widget on the page has its own edit icon. Figure 1. Topic page with per-widget edit icons

5. On a topic page, use a widget edit icon to show or hide its description, or to limit the number of quick links shown.
6. **Optional:** Select Reset widget to revert a widget to its default configuration.
7. Close the panel to apply your changes.
