Manage panels
editManage panels
editWhen creating a panel, you can choose to add it to a dashboard, or to save it to the Visualize Library so it can be added to multiple dashboards later.
There are also some common options that you can configure on the various types of panels to make a dashboard easier to navigate and analyze.
Save to the Visualize Library
editTo use a panel on multiple dashboards, you can save it to the Visualize Library. Any updates made to a shared panel are replicated to all dashboards where the panel is added.
If you created the panel from a dashboard:
- In the editor, click Save to library.
- Enter the Title and add any applicable Tags.
- Select Add to Dashboards after saving to add the panel to your dashboard at the same time.
- Click Save and return.
If you created the panel from the Visualize Library:
- In the editor, click Save.
- On the Save window, enter the Title.
-
Choose one of the following options:
To add unsaved dashboard panels to the Visualize Library:
- Open the panel menu, then select More > Save to library.
- Enter the panel title, then click Save.

editReturn to the dashboard and add the panel without specifying the save options or adding the panel to the Visualize Library.
If you created the panel from a dashboard:
- In the editor, click Save and return.
-
Add an optional title to the panel.
- In the panel header, click No Title.
- On the Panel settings window, select Show title.
- Enter the Title, then click Save.
If you created the panel from the Visualize Library:
- Click Save.
- On the Save window, add a Title to name the visualization.
-
Choose one of the following options:
- If you want to add the panel to an existing dashboard, select Existing, select the dashboard from the dropdown, then click Save and go to Dashboard.
- If you want to add the panel to a new dashboard, select New, then click Save and go to Dashboard.
Link to Discover
editYou can add interactions to panels that allow you to open and explore the data in Discover. To use the interactions, the panel must use only one data view.
There are three types of Discover interactions you can add to dashboard panels:
-
Panel interactions — Opens panel data in Discover, including the dashboard-level filters, but not the panel-level filters.
To enable panel interactions, configure
xpack.discoverEnhanced.actions.exploreDataInContextMenu.enabled
in kibana.yml. If you are using 7.13.0 and earlier, panel interactions are enabled by default.To use panel interactions, open the panel menu, then click Explore underlying data.
-
Series data interactions — Opens the series data in Discover.
To enable series data interactions, configure
xpack.discoverEnhanced.actions.exploreDataInChart.enabled
in kibana.yml. If you are using 7.13.0 and earlier, data series interactions are enabled by default.To use series data interactions, click a data series in the panel.
-
Saved search interactions — Opens saved search data in Discover.
To use saved search interactions, open the panel menu, then click More > View saved search.
Edit panels
editTo make changes to the panel, use the panel menu options.
- In the toolbar, click Edit.
-
Open the panel menu, then use the following options:
-
Edit visualization — Opens the editor so you can make changes to the panel.
To make changes without changing the original version, open the panel menu, then click More > Unlink from library.
- Convert to Lens — Opens TSVB and aggregation-based visualizations in Lens.
- Settings — Opens the Settings window to change the title, description, and time range.
- More > Replace panel — Opens the Visualize Library so you can select a new panel to replace the existing panel.
-
More > Delete from dashboard — Removes the panel from the dashboard.
If you want to use the panel later, make sure that you save the panel to the Visualize Library.
