### 1. Accessing the Dashboard

* Ensure your insights are set up in the notebook.
* Navigate to the **Dashboard** tab using the navbar.
* Click the **Edit Mode** button in the top right corner to enable editing.

### 2. Adding and Managing Blocks

* In **Edit Mode**, a floating menu bar will appear at the bottom.
* Use the menu to add different types of blocks:
  * **Tables** for structured data.
  * **Charts** for visual representation.
  * **Statistics** for key metrics.
* Blocks can be resized and rearranged using the drag handles:
  * **Center-left handle** for repositioning.
  * **Bottom-right handle** for resizing.

### 3. Adding Context with Text Blocks

* You can add **Text Blocks** directly to the dashboard.
* The menu bar includes all kinds of text blocks and even has **callouts**.
* Use them to provide context, explanations, or notes alongside tables and charts.

### 4. Finalizing Your Dashboard

* Once satisfied with the layout, switch **Edit Mode Off** for a cleaner presentation-ready UI.

Your dashboard is now set up and ready to share or present!
