Creating dashboards in Kibana is faster than ever thanks to improvements in creating, saving, and reusing charts and graphs.

<p>Creating dashboards is quicker and easier than before with a new streamlined navigation experience, now available in Kibana 7.12. This dashboard-first approach makes it simple for you to create and add visualizations without leaving your dashboard-building flow.&nbsp;
</p><p>Get started directly from a Kibana dashboard with a few simple steps: Select <strong>Create Panel</strong> and choose what type of visual you want to build. (In the following visual, we selected Kibana Lens.)&nbsp;Then once you’ve completed your analysis, simply select <strong>Save and return</strong>.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/bltd6267a057f5df8b4/6075208b66e3a310e06c5435/gif-kiabana-dashboard-create-by-value-1.gif" data-sys-asset-uid="bltd6267a057f5df8b4" alt="gif-kiabana-dashboard-create-by-value-1.gif" width="748" height="487" style="width: 748px; height: 487px;">
</p><p>If you’re starting from a visualization editor, like Kibana Lens or Maps, there is a new saving experience. By default, you’ll be guided to save your visualization to a new or existing dashboard. If you want to save to the <strong>Visualize Library</strong> for reuse, you can do that, too. This new flow emphasizes this step so you can focus on building dashboards instead of spending time saving and managing visualizations separately.&nbsp;
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt6f62fbf8975f0211/607520be49eb2079fbffc3dc/gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-2.gif" data-sys-asset-uid="blt6f62fbf8975f0211" alt="gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-2.gif" width="748" height="487" style="width: 748px; height: 487px;">
</p><p>And if you want to reuse visualizations, no problem! You can use the new <strong>Visualize Library</strong>.
</p><h2>Introducing the Visualize Library</h2><p><strong>Visualize </strong>has been renamed to the <strong>Visualize Library</strong> to reflect its function as the home for your saved visualizations. In the toolbar, we’ve added a <strong>Save to library</strong> option that lets you save your visualization to the library for when you want to reuse it.
</p><h3>Get Library notifications</h3><p>You can now see panels saved to your library with just a glance. When editing a dashboard, an icon appears in the panel header that gives you the option to unlink the panel from the <strong>Visualize Library</strong>.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt80234b88f782e058/6075210e1f7b0a72b235b9e2/gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-3.gif" data-sys-asset-uid="blt80234b88f782e058" alt="gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-3.gif" width="759" height="310" style="width: 759px; height: 310px;">
</p><h3>View unsaved changes</h3><p>Since new panels <em>could</em> only be stored inside the dashboard, it’s even more important to save them. Dashboards with unsaved changes now appear at the top of the <strong>Dashboards</strong> page, allowing you to easily view the last saved state of each.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt849a66cf257b5cfe/6075212ce0a8fe10ae61b13d/gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-4.gif" data-sys-asset-uid="blt849a66cf257b5cfe" alt="gif-kibana-dashboard-create-by-value-4.gif" "="" width="754" height="489" style="width: 754px; height: 489px;">
</p><h2>Stay focused and productive</h2><p>New efficiency improvements can help you stay in your flow longer. Here are a few ways you can save time:
</p><h3>Keep building</h3><p> With the new <strong>Save</strong> button, you can save edits and continue editing. That’s it! This button doesn’t prompt you for a title, and it doesn’t end your editing session.
</p><h3>Stay informed</h3><p>When you have <strong>Unsaved changes</strong> on a dashboard, Kibana will let you know. If you navigate away from the page, you’ll have options to discard changes, keep them, or go back to editing.&nbsp;
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt0c89ded07fb6bce4/607522e01898af75a401b84a/gif-kibana-dashboard-quick-save-5.gif" data-sys-asset-uid="blt0c89ded07fb6bce4" alt="gif-kibana-dashboard-quick-save-5.gif" width="804" height="107" style="width: 804px; height: 107px;">
</p><strong><h3>Don’t start from scratch</h3></strong><p>Use existing panels as a template for a new dashboard — or different analysis — with <strong>Copy to dashboard. </strong>The new action allows you to copy any panel to any existing or newly created dashboard.
</p><h3>Take the shortcut</h3><p>The new toolbar will guide you to the <strong>Create panel</strong> and <strong>Add from library</strong> buttons. As we learn more about users’ most common tasks, we can expand the toolbar to include more options in future releases. Stay tuned!&nbsp;
