Edit a dashboard
Learn how to shape a dashboard in edit mode, if you have permission to edit it. You'll add sections with preset or custom layouts, add and manage widgets, split a dashboard into tabs, and format its appearance. Your changes stay private until you publish them, and each publish saves a revision you can restore.
