So, Pinegrow (as far as I know) only allows you to define where widgets are on the template page. So the “Widget” action is adding `the_widget()` to your page. Designing an actual widget and getting it to appear in the WP dashboard is in the WP API - not really part of Pinegrow directly.

Once you have designed/implemented your widget you can add it to a template with `the_widget` action and selecting custom widget
