Hey Determined Puma and other voters!
Today we released an update that makes your text widgets scrollable. This comes especially handy when there is a lengthy text report summary in one of the widgets, which can otherwise take up a lot of unnecessary space.
The way it works is rather simple: if you enter more text in the widget than there is space - a scrollbar will appear on the right-hand side.
Let us know if you have any further questions or feedback!

It would be great if the text widgets as well would have a scroll feature, just like in the table widget

It would be amazing if there was an option to make text fields scrollable instead of making them super big. More information for a lesser space would be so handy, and all it would take is a scrolling feature for the text fields. :-)

I'd also suggest being able to make text widgets scrollable if they have too much text in them

Thank you for the question Anne. At the moment this function is only available for Expanded Media and Table widgets so I am happy to take the request! Do you mind letting me know what kind of information you usually put on the text widgets and how long do you want it to be? This should help us think of best ways to help you :)

Laurynas Arminas: Hi, Laurynas: We do formal reporting monthly and like to include a written synopsis of what we saw the previous month for each of the primary areas we report on. Many of our clients appreciate a written explanation of the data to go along with what they are seeing. Take a look at this report for example: https://reporting.sagemg.com/shared/Me47Ow1Qj7wvGxQL In that Website Overview section, what I wrote was probably 500 words or so. Without scrollbars, my only option was to make that widget extremely long to fit all the text. What I ended up having to do was provide my synopsis in a separate email and provide a link to the report. Ideally, the synopsis would be right inline with the data. Does that help explain what I'm looking for? Thanks for reaching out!
