Choose Add Widget Preview, select the Hero layout, and configure Image using the same character_model User Data variable used in Widget Top.

Add the required profile preview.

Use character_model for the Hero preview image.

5

Configure Mini Profile (optional)

Enable the compact widget shown on your profile card in servers. The recommended setup is your character name as the stat, either faction_icon or spec_icon as the icon, and character_model as the image.

Optionally configure the compact profile-card version.

6

Save and publish

Select Save Changes in the upper-right corner, then select Publish.

Save the configuration, then publish the widget.

Enable Developer Mode

If you followed these steps and still can't add the widget to your Discord profile, make sure you have Devloper Mode enabled in your discord settings. Because these features are considered 'Experimental', the developer mode must be enabled to use them.
