Summary
The Instance gadget lists instances of the currently selected object, so you can quickly swap between those instances. It can also be configured to display the workflow statuses of those instances.
Because there may be lots of instances to choose from, you can use a filter on the list.
Gadget Action Menu Items
Copy
Select one of the instances by ticking its checkbox. It can then be copied to the clipboard, allowing it to be pasted into other gadgets. Note that only one instance can be selected at a time.
Add to List...
This item is only enabled when you have selected one or more objects. Opens a dialog with two dropdown controls. The first shows all the top level List structures; the second shows all the child objects of the List selected in the first control. Selecting OK links the selected objects to that List child object, as new instances.
Add to Previous List
Like Add to List... but it automatically uses the same List object as before.
Set Up Filter...
By default, the Instance gadget does not show instances in completed events, document structures, or the bin. However, the filter provides options to show these.
You can also restrict instances by the type of structure they're in.
Enable Filter / 
Disable Filter
Toggles the filter.
