Restore an earlier dashboard version

Anyone who can edit the dashboard · Updated 8 Nov 2026

Every change to a dashboard is kept as a version you can preview and restore from History in the dashboard editor header, next to Undo and Redo.

Preview and restore earlier versions with History

  1. Click History. Each version shows a thumbnail, a label, when it was made, and the prompt that made it. Tags mark the Current version and versions that are Undone or Ahead of where you are.
  2. Click a version to preview it. A banner reads "Viewing an earlier version" (or "Viewing the original version"), with who made it and when.
  3. Click Restore to make it current, or Back to current to close the preview.

A version from before you swapped the dashboard's data shows "This version used a different dataset". It isn't previewed, because drawing it against the current data would show the wrong numbers.

MessageWhat it means
"Couldn't load that version."The version can't load.
"Someone else changed this dashboard — we've refreshed it. Please try that again."Someone changed the dashboard while you were restoring. Try again.
