Procedure
- Right-click a widget in the My Widgets sidebar panel and
select Configure a New Action.
Alternatively,
you can configure an action while you create the widget using the
wizards.

a new action name.
The action name will appear in the
list of actions for Live Text.

If you select Other Content the choices
are Text selection and Feed item.
If
you select Recognized content you can specify
a new or existing content type name.
For both types you can
wire a Content type property item to a Widget
property item. If you want to wire more than one Content
type property and Widget property, use the Advanced tab.

action area, specify if the action should appear in a
sidebar panel, new window, floating window, or tab.
