Note: The image is not a real representation like in the client theme. That means that it can look different in the various themes. - Below the image the widget name is placed. That is the common name excentos uses for this widget.

That means that if the Question configuration changes drastically and the current manually selected widget is not part of the "Recommended" or " or Further Possible" list list anymore, your widget selection is automatically adapted to the new default widget of the new configuration. In that this case, a popup notification appears, e.g. in the Concept Board, and tells you the described case.
