Hello. Is it possible to add a button on a page when clicked displays some text (static text - not from data). If so, how do I do this?

Create a User Specific Boolean column in your table. Then change the action on the button to a Set Column action and configure the action to write ‘true’ into that user specific boolean column. Use that column in a visibility condition on the component you are using to display the text.

Please note that the set column action will consume more updates.
