In HelpStudio, the widgets are a configurable and extendable library of content helpers with related resources. You can create and use the widgets wherever suitable to deliver an interactive help document. The widgets in HelpStudio allow you to separate the presentation from content by defining the style and the structure of common content elements.

Standard (default) widget types that ship with HelpStudio include:

• Note, Tip, and Caution boxes
• Dynamic Image (enlarge / collapse a thumbnail image in place)
• Colorized Example Code
• Include Topic (include the content of one Topic in another)
• Expandable Text
• Drop down section
• QR Code (generate a QR Bar Code from some specified text)
• In this Topic list (automatically generated bookmark links to headings in a long Topic)
• Mini Toc (a portion of the Table of Contents rendered as a hierarchical set of links)
• Authoring Note (content that only exists for reference by content authors and should not appear in any outputs)
