Widgets are components written by programmers that can be embedded in workbooks. They're developed in .net and rendered using HTML/JavaScript.

They enable custom visuals to be placed in a workbook, which can be linked to the values in the workbook by:

  • Reading values from cells to drive the widget content.
  • Sending values to cells, for example, in response to a click in the widget.

They are only rendered on the web once published, in Excel a placeholder is shown.
