# Managing Dashboards You can organize your dashboards from the Dashboards page. To edit a dashboard layout, first visualize the dashboard and unlock it. ## Dashboard Pages On the Dashboards page, you can add, reorder, delete, rename, and duplicate dashboards. The dashboard name is briefly visible when you cycle through dashboards. Available actions include: - **Long press** a dashboard to delete or duplicate it. - **Double tap** a dashboard to rename it. - **Touch and drag** to reorder dashboards. - Use the **(+)** button to add a new dashboard. ## Editing Layout To edit a dashboard's widgets and arrangement, you need to unlock its layout. View the desired dashboard, access the **Actions menu** on the right-hand side, and tap the bottom **unlock button**. The widgets will become surrounded by dashed borders, indicating you are in edit mode. Actions you can perform while editing a layout include: - **Long press** an empty area of the dashboard to add a widget (you may need to free up space first). - **Double tap** a widget to edit its configuration. - **Touch and drag** a widget to reposition it. - **Touch and drag** the edges of a widget to resize it. - **Long press** a widget to delete or duplicate it. - Use the lower right **Check button** to save changes or the **X button** to discard layout changes. ## Widget Gallery KIP's widgets are versatile visual presentation controls with advanced configuration options to suit your needs.
