# Header components

> Section headings inside dashboards

Header components add section headings to dashboards. Use them to split a dashboard into clear areas, such as overview, acquisition, retention, support, or finance.

## When to use

* Separating groups of related charts
* Making long dashboards easier to scan
* Introducing a dashboard section before charts or text blocks

## Example prompt

```
Add a header called Acquisition above the marketing charts
```

## Tips

* Keep header text short.
* Pair headers with text blocks when the section needs more explanation.
* Use headers to reinforce the story or workflow of the dashboard.
