Text - Flowboard

What it is

Text is the standard component for a single block of copy with one visual style.

What it’s best for

Use it when you need clear messaging without mixing multiple styles in the same sentence.

When to use it

Headlines
Body copy
Labels above inputs
Small legal or support notes

When not to use it

Do not use it when part of the sentence needs a different style. Use Rich Text.
Do not use long paragraphs when a shorter message would move the user faster.

How to add it in the dashboard

Open the screen in the dashboard.
Add Text from the Components panel.
Select the text block on the canvas.
In the properties panel, enter the copy and adjust styling.
Review the screen hierarchy to confirm the text is easy to scan.

Example use cases

Best practices

Keep the headline focused on one promise or one instruction.
Use body copy only when it helps the user decide or complete the next step.
Make the difference between headline, body text, and fine print obvious.

Common mistakes

Using several text blocks when one concise message would be clearer
Making every text block large and bold
Center-aligning long paragraphs that would read better left-aligned
