  • blog-service/2026-06-28-dashboards.md — New service release note.
  • Added supporting screenshots (panel menu and Add Panel to Dashboard dialog).

Select the type of change

  • Minor Changes - Typos, formatting, slight revisions
  • Update Content - Revisions, updating sections
  • New Content - New features, sections, pages, tutorials
  • Site and Tools - .clabot, version updates, maintenance, dependencies, new packages for the site (Docusaurus, Gatsby, React, etc.)

1. In the **Add Panel to Dashboard** window, enter a **Panel Title** and select the **Dashboard** you want to copy the panel to. To copy it to a new dashboard, enter a name and select **Create New Dashboard** from the dropdown.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/dashboards/create-dashboard/copy-to-dashboard-dialog.png')} alt="Copy to Dashboard dialog" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="400" />
1. Choose how the copied panel handles its time range:
* **Inherit time range from dashboard**. The panel uses the time range of the destination dashboard.
* **Use current time range as panel default** (default). The panel keeps its own time range, independent of the destination dashboard.

It looks like the other option is actually the default. But I think I'd delete it to reduce confusion.
