* Pick a **Light** or **Dark** theme for the output.
* Set the resolution from 1,500 to 6,000 pixels for a sharper image on large displays.
* Export with panel-level time range overrides (PDF and PNG only).

This bullet is framed as something readers "can now" do, but the corresponding section added in export-dashboard-new.md reads as documenting pre-existing behavior ("When you export a dashboard, each panel is exported using the dashboard time range. If you have overridden the time range..."). If this behavior is not actually new, the bullet should be removed from the release note or reworded to clarify that the behavior is now documented rather than newly introduced.

:::
1. Enter your preferences in the **Scheduled Reports** popup.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/dashboards/scheduled_reports/scheduled_report.png')} alt="scheduled_report" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="600"/>
* **Select report type**. Choose the format in which you would like to see the report (PDF or PNG).
* **Select report width**. Set the width of the report, in pixels, anywhere from 1,500 to 6,000. The default is 1,500. Increase the resolution for a sharper image on large displays, such as wall monitors or TV screens.

The export doc calls this same control "Resolution" while this doc calls it "Select report width". If these are different UI labels in the product, a brief parenthetical in one doc would prevent confusion (e.g. "the Resolution (report width) setting"). If they share the same label, one page should be corrected to match. The release note also uses "resolution" for both, which adds to the inconsistency.
