How to edit dashboard

I don’t think I’ve ever come across some software where the documentation, and online help, is so inconsistent with what I actually see in v2026.8.3.

I’m trying to edit a dashboard to add a gauge but firstly I cannot see the “three dots menu” on the dashboard, if I instead click the “pencil” I get a “Update area” dialog rather than the page to add cards.

WHat on earth am I doing wrong?

You are probably trying to Edit one of the Pre-Build Dashboards. ( i.e Overview , Which You really can’t )
If You go to /Settings/Dashboards You can Create a New Dashboard, which is most likely what you want to Use

But You could paste a “Screenshot” so people can see what you mean, by getting an “Update Area”

If You want to Edit(Update) An Area, the best Options is in /Settings/Area,Labels & Zones

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum!

You have, at the bottom of each page in the docs, a few options to address that:

That’s a better place for this and it can help others too.
