You can copy an existing panel from one dashboard to another, or to a new dashboard, without rebuilding the query. This is useful when you want to reuse the same visualization across multiple dashboards.

To copy a panel to another dashboard:

1. Go to the dashboard that has the panel you want to copy.
1. On the panel, click the three-dot kebab menu icon and select **Copy to Dashboard**.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/dashboards/create-dashboard/copy-to-dashboard-menu.png')} alt="Copy to Dashboard menu option" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="300" />
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.
