Each Widget will contain a unique design, its own content to fill in, and perform different functionality. For example, a widget for displaying an image and information about a room in a hotel, or a widget containing a map of the hotel. For a list of available Widgets and exactly what each one does, see the Widget section of this document.
3.1 Page zone To add and edit content, open the Page tab of your page
