# Working with textboxes

You can use text boxes in Analytics+ either to set the title or to provide contextual details in your dashboards. The **Text** tab in the toolbar holds the options for text formatting and alignment. You can also double-click and use the on-object interaction menu for basic customizations.

### 1. Setting the style

You can specify whether the text is a heading, paragraph, or bullet list from the **Text Format** dropdown.
