Hi @Feda hamad , it is possible to display the "Introduction" gadget twice on the same dashboard.  Both content blocks will have the same content however, so that isn't useful. 

Instead, since you have Jira Server, how about you create your own content block with the "Text" gadget?  You can include HTML, CSS, and even JavaScript (but be careful, and always test your code outside of Jira, of course.)

The "Text" gadget comes turned off by default in Jira Server, so you may need to enable it.  Do that by visiting: Admin > Add-ons > Manage apps.  Here is the complete documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/adding-the-text-gadget-720417086.html

Note:  Enabling this feature makes your instance vulnerable to XSS attacks.  You have to weigh the security risk against the value it provides.

Hope this helps,
