Building Kibana dashboards more efficiently

Kibana 7.12 introduces a more streamlined navigation experience that enhances the efficiency of building dashboards by adopting a dashboard-first approach, allowing users to create and add visualizations directly from their dashboard workflow. The update includes a new saving experience that guides users to save their visualizations to either a new or existing dashboard, or the newly renamed Visualize Library for reuse, thus minimizing the time spent on managing visualizations separately. An added feature is the ability to see panels saved to the library at a glance, along with notifications for unsaved changes, helping users maintain focus and productivity. Efficiency is further improved with options like the ability to copy existing panels to new or different dashboards, and a new toolbar that includes shortcuts to frequently used actions. Users can experience these enhancements by trying out the latest version of the Elastic Stack or a free trial of Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, with opportunities to provide feedback through social media, the Kibana forum, and GitHub.
