## Configuration

The configuration of the "Testimonial" is quite self-explanatory. The **name**, the **rating** and the **review** of the customer are mandatory fields. That's all you really need to configure.

### General

In the tab "General" you configure the content of the element.

> **Text**
>
> In the section "Text" you can enter the **name** (2), the **rating** (3) and the **review** (4) of the customer. All three are mandatory fields.
>
> **Avatar**
>
> In the section "Avatar" you can select the type of **avatar** (1) and, if desired, the **image** (1) of the customer.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The review is capable of **HTML**. However, it is best to limit yourself to paragraph formatting.
{% endhint %}

### Layout

In the tab "Layout" you can configure the appearance of the element.

> **General**
