Cannot add widget to the designer area

I created a User Widget instance from “Add->User Interface->Widget Blueprint->User Widget.” I am only able to add one widget to the designer area using drag and drop. I cannot add a second widget. It shows a red cancel icon. See attached screen shot.

Unreal 4 always came with a container by default,now unreal 5 is no longer added by default and you have to add some type of container depending on the type of widget you need.
Before adding text you can add a canvas, or an overlay, etc, see the panels section.

I added a wrap box as the parent container. I am now able to add more than one widget. Thanks

Some widgets can have children, some cannot. Text is the latter.
