### Widgets

In addition to the out-of-the-box integrations, Change Tracking is available as a data source for widgets across Datadog, including Dashboards and Notebooks.

{{< img src="/change_tracking/change-tracking-datasource-examples.png" alt="Change Tracking datasource examples" style="width:100%;" >}}

To configure a widget using Change Tracking data:

1. In a dashboard or notebook, add or edit a supported widget type (Timeseries, Query Value, Table, Tree Map, Top List, Pie, Change, or Bar Chart).

Use 'timeseries' instead of 'Timeseries'.
3. From the **data source** dropdown, select `Change Tracking`.
4. Configure your filters (**Service** is required).
5. (Optional) For widgets that support grouping, use **Group by** to split results.

For Timeseries widgets, you can also enable Change Tracking as an **Event Overlay**, which displays changes on top of the timeseries to help correlate them with metric behavior.

Hi! is this needed? Since it’s a service from the Demo org, it’s already mentioned and displayed elsewhere in the docs (including this page). Happy to update if you think it’s required.

Ah, okay, I wasn't 100% sure it was Demo due to the name of the service. If it was taken in Demo, then it should be fine to keep as-is.
