widgets, how do you deploy them?

I have to push out a periodic table widget to a bunch of users, will be self service most likely. How do you all push out widgets?

For a option for them to install push it to /Library/Widgets. if you want it to be in every user just use composer and capture the widget install and setup in a user and click user Template and Fill Existed Users

user specific is usually ~/Library/Widgets <--- the widget itself
~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple** <-------- there may be several of these depending on how many widget preferences you set the **** will vary

I was tipped off by a Jamf employee, that you can use composer to just
capture the full path of /Library/Widgets and it will allow the user to
install all the Widgets you put in there. You can capture the whole
file path in Composer 7 by just dragging that path into composer and
tell it to capture it.

Thanks,
