    Great! Thank you.

    Is there a global repository of custom widgets? Where can I find them?

    So far, I know all officially supported widget are provided with the studio installation. Some widgets - developed as customer widgets e.g. from PTC  presales team requires some time to be cooperated in the default installation. There are some unofficial GitHub repositions I know. But there is no 100% support warranted that they would work in the new releases
