Why don't my widgets stay on the front page?

[AC Question]

I have a Verizon Ellipsis tablet and no matter what I do, the widgets that I add to my homescreen will not stay there.

I'll open up a app like YouTube and when I exit out and go to the homescreen all the widgets I added are gone.

I've played with the settings to see if there's something in there that's not enabled, but I can't find anything.

Thank you!

Welcome to Android Central! Which widgets are you adding? Which Ellipsis tablet do you have, the 7 or 8?
