Add or remove Web Parts from a page

To customize the appearance of the portal site, you can add or remove Web Parts from a page.

To add or remove Web Parts from a page, you must be a member of the Administrator site group on the portal site. You can add or remove Web Parts only from some pages. You can add or remove Web Parts for the Home, News, Topics, Sites, and My Site pages. You cannot edit any of the pages in Site Settings or SharePoint Portal Server central administration, because these pages do not use Web Parts.

You can add or remove Web Parts from the shared view, or from your personal view:

On the page that you want to edit, click Edit Page in the Actions section of the action pane.
At the top of the page in the shared view, click Modify Shared Page to modify the shared view.
To add Web Parts to your personal view without affecting the view of other users, click Modify My Page from the personal view.
Note The text for the link at the top of the page changes depending upon whether you are looking at the shared view or the personal view.
Select Add Web Parts.
To add a Web Part from an existing Web Part library, click Browse.
The page opens in design mode, and the Add Web Parts pane appears.
In the Add Web Parts pane, click the library you want to browse.
In the Web Part List, find the Web Part you want. Click Next to view more Web Parts.
To find the Web Part you want without browsing through all of the Web Part libraries, click Search after selecting Add Web Parts.
In the Search text box that appears in the Add Web Parts pane, type a word describing the Web Part for which you are looking, and then click Go.
A list of Web Parts matching the search appears in the Add Web Parts pane.
Tips

  In the text box that appears, type or browse to the location of a .dwp file you want to import as a new Web Part, and then click Upload.
  The Web Part is added to the currently selected Web Part library.

From the available Web Parts, click the one you want to add.
Click the zone to which you want to add the Web Part, and then click Add.
