Option to place introductionary help text on top of ressources?

Hey, I aim for the control panel to be as self-explanatory as possible. Filament does a great job for that with options as helptexts. One thing I can not find though: I want some kind of introtext on top of the listview/create/edit. For example I want to explain what "StripeConnections" are to the user. Is there a default way to do so?

Placeholder::make('intro')->content() or on the space subheading = 'Please holder text'

Thanks @toeknee ! I ended up doing it like this:

  public function mount(): void
    {
        FilamentView::registerRenderHook(
            'panels::page.header-widgets.after',
            fn(): View => view('filament.pages.provider.stripe-account-header'),
        );

        parent::mount();
    }

  public function mount(): void
    {
        FilamentView::registerRenderHook(
            'panels::page.header-widgets.after',
            fn(): View => view('filament.pages.provider.stripe-account-header'),
        );

        parent::mount();
    }

Still seems a bit special for something I would expect many are doing on their own. The standard way for feature-requests is github communities, right?

Where did you put it? Protected $subheading I think is what you’d like be happy with?

I agree with toeknee. I think subheading is what you are looking for. It will place text under the page’s title and not be part of the form.

I put it in my ListView. Subheading is great for very short stuff. But I wanted to put a whole paragraph of text. This is what it looks like

I have customers with access to the panel and I need, from time to time explain to them what ressources are for and who they might contact in case they need help or stuff

In the resource on the table builder:

$table->heading('Notice')
$table->description('Lorem ipsum dolor')

$table->heading('Notice')
$table->description('Lorem ipsum dolor')

It might not be want you want as it'll example the table and you want above the table
