- Open the Widgets editor with a right-click or two-finger tap at any blank spot on the desktop.
- Click Edit Widgets. In the popup, find the widgets you want to add to your desktop and then simply click and drag them onto your desktop.

Remember to enable Stage Manager once all the widgets are in place. And if you ever want to remove a widget, simply right click on the widget and click Remove Widget.
