When 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.

You can add interactions to panels that allow you to open and explore the data inDiscover. To use the interactions, the panel must use only one data view.

There are three types ofDiscover interactions you can add to dashboard panels:

• Panel interactions — Opens panel data inDiscover, including the dashboard-level filters, but not the panel-level filters.

  To enable panel interactions, configurexpack.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 and clickExplore underlying data.

• Series data interactions — Opens the series data inDiscover.

  To enable series data interactions, configurexpack.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.

• Discover session interactions — Openssaved Discover session data inDiscover.

  To use saved Discover session interactions, open the panel menu and clickView Discover session.

To make changes to the panel, use the panel menu options.

1. In the toolbar, clickEdit.

2. 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 and clickUnlink from library.

   • Convert to Lens — OpensTSVB and aggregation-based visualizations inLens.

     If you want to use the panel later, make sure that you save the panel to theVisualize Library.
