Add controls to a card

Controls are the building blocks of your card's interface and functionality. They add text, images, and other elements to create a rich cards experience. Insert, modify, and remove them in the card designer.

There are three categories of controls that you can add to your card:

• Display: Controls that display information, including text, images, and other media
• Input: Controls that ask for information from users, such as text, numbers, and dates, or that allow the user to interact with the card, such as buttons and lists
• Layout: Controls that modify the layout and appearance of controls
