# Introduction
Setting the text property sets the plain-text contents of the text element. 
Any text that the element already contained is replaced. The new text is 
formatted using the formatting that was used on the first character of the previous text value.

The dashboard text element is intended for use on 
[dashboard pages](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/coding-with-velo/frontend-code/dashboard-admin-pages/working-with-dashboard-pages.md) 
in your Wix site or in [Wix Blocks](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blocks-check-out-our-articles),
but you may use it on any page.
