# Command

Use the **Command** widget to embed an inline [command](../../cross-app-interactivity/commands-overview/index.md) into a Notepad document. Select **+ Widget** or type `/` in a paragraph field to add a command, enabling you to execute operations in other Palantir applications from Notepad. The **Command** widget works in tandem with [App Pairing](../../cross-app-interactivity/app-pairing/index.md) to connect application state and enable cross-application workflows throughout the Palantir platform.
