Output Component

Description

The output widget is used to display information to the user. Specifically, it is used to display plain-text messages. The output is commonly used to provide labels to groups of widgets and to provide additional information to users.

Many different configurations may be applied to the output; color, size, title, icon, and much more. Additionally, the data to display can be provided as static text via information or provided dynamically from the Flow via model reference.
