# Use cases

> Note
> 
> In Grafana 11, the functionality of external JavaScript resources is deprecated, and the **External Resource > Scripts** parameter has been removed. You can import JavaScript libraries directly in the code.
> 
> The Business Text panel supports JavaScript library imports in **Before content rendering** starting from version 5.3.0.

You can import external JavaScript libraries in both the **Before content rendering** and **After content ready** parameters.

The Business Text panel enables the loading of additional JavaScript using external URLs like CDN (Content Delivery Network). Use that functionality to execute JavaScript functions in the [JavaScript Code](/docs/plugins/marcusolsson-dynamictext-panel/latest/javascript-code/) editor.

## Public folder

To prevent loading third-party URLs, store CSS and JavaScript files in the public folder on a Grafana instance.

- To load from an external Grafana instance, use `https://GRAFANA-URL/public/grafanaCSS.css`.
- To load from a local Grafana instance, use `/public/grafanaCSS.css`.

## External JavaScript resources

Below, you can find a collection of breathtaking use cases, the perfect examples of using external JavaScript libraries in the Business Text plugin.

> Note
> 
> Use the **All rows** or **All data** template to execute the template only once. With **Every row**, the **Content** applies to every row of retrieved data. Even though the data frames of the specified data source are not used, the plugin runs the code for each retrieved row.
