I have been reading the documentation in order to manage my dashboard through YAML files directly and skip the need to go to the raw editor and copy over the entire YAML but for some reason, I am unable to get it working. This is how my configuration.yaml file looks like:
then I created a file named ui-lovelace.yaml which contains basically the entire YAML for my dashboard configuration (below is just a snippet so you get an idea):
title: Home
views:
- theme: Backend-selected
title: Home
path: default_view
type: panel
icon: mdi:home
badges: []
...
but even after restarting HA several times and continue applying changes to the ui-lovelace.yaml file I need to click on the three dots, go to edit dashboard > raw edit configuration, and paste the YAML once again to be able to see the changes, why? what I am doing wrong?
hmm I did what you suggested and now I have two home icons but the result remains the same I need to add the YAML through the UI to be able to see the changes:
well, the new dashboard is the one with the black home icon which is a copycat of the one I had before managed through the UI … how do I remove the one managed through the UI and make the YAML on my default dashboard?

To set default, click on your user icon (bottom left corner) and select which dash board to be default.
what else I am missing? How do I find the correct path to add under the resources section? So far I have been following what the docs say like for example this

I am following the docs from the card author and there it says it should be loaded as a module however I am getting the same error with all the cards I have through HACS
