They appear on the widgets board, where you can discover, pin, unpin, arrange, resize, and customize widgets to reflect your interests.

Your widgets board consists of two sections: your widgets and your news feed. Your widgets are all located at the top of the widgets board. The news feed can be found below your widgets. The following sections describe how to use the widgets board.
