Support collapsible widget sections in dashboards #119231

Description

@michaelchai-sentry

Problem Statement

Dashboards with many widgets become visually overwhelming and difficult to parse at a glance. When a dashboard monitors multiple similar entities (e.g. critical routes, services, or environments), the widget layout becomes too long to scan quickly — users have no way to collapse groups of related widgets or visually separate logical sections.

Current behavior: All widgets render in a flat grid. The only organizational tools are widget titles and manual positioning.

Gap: There is no concept of named, collapsible sections within a single dashboard. Users who want to group related widgets — and optionally hide them to reduce visual noise — have no supported path to do so.

Proposed Solution

Allow users to create named sections within a dashboard that:

  • Group a set of widgets under a labeled header
  • Can be collapsed/expanded to reduce visual noise
  • Persist their collapsed/expanded state (per-user or per-dashboard)
