While you're creating a widget, the right half of the screen (the preview screen) will reflect your settings in real time. While you need to select metrics and add filters on the left side of the screen, you can also change the visualization type by clicking the icons on the right preview screen.
By adding dimensions and applying filters, the widgets can provide specific, actionable insights. You can also add multiple segments, filters, and sorts.
