## Remarks

Dispatching this command will result in addition of a new item into the existing section. This item may be a placeholder for KPI or insight, an actual dashboard widget or a previously stashed dashboard item.

This command operates only on the root layout. For nested layouts, use [addNestedLayoutSectionItem()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.addnestedlayoutsectionitem/index.md).
