The dashboard was already included in the first Macs. We show you how you can set it up sensibly.

Insert web pages into the dashboard
If a website is very important to you, you can display it on the dashboard. As soon as you switch to the dashboard, it will be reloaded. To set up the feature:
- Open the desired website in Safari.
- Right-click on the website and select "Open in Dashbord".
- In Safari you can now select the area of the website that should be displayed.
