1. index.md (Dashboards overview) - Removed the outdated "only available in MODX 2.2 or later" line (this is the 3.x branch) - Added a new Customizable Dashboards section explaining the Customizable checkbox, per-user cloning, and what happens when it's unchecked - Added a How Template Changes Propagate subsection explaining that widget additions/removals from the manager propagate to all users, while direct dashboard changes are per-user only 2. managing.md (Managing Your Dashboard) - Added a Template vs Personal Changes section clarifying that edits on this page update the template, that additions/removals propagate to all users, and that direct dashboard page changes only affect the current user - Included practical guidance on when to use each editing interface 3. usergroups.md (Assigning to a User Group) - Fixed the intro line (it previously said "how to edit a Dashboard" which was copy-pasted from the managing page) - Added a Customizable Dashboards and User Groups section explaining that personal copies are created on first login, and that subsequent template changes propagate 4. creating-a-widget.md (Creating a Dashboard Widget) - Added a blockquote note after the "Assigning the Widget" instructions explaining the difference between adding a widget via the manager (template-level, affects all users) vs directly on the dashboard (per-user only) - Included a performance note about placement records on large sites
