Widget Name

Each Widget has an internal Name used only at design-time, for example in the Widgets list.
This Name is not visible to the end user when the Widget is published.
It allows to have a clear useful name for the developer while the end user will want to see a different custom header, or even no header.

The Widget Name can be configured from the left of the top bar :
