I have multiple Dashboards that I have cloned to make changes. 

What is the best method to rename the existing dashboards out to old and rename the new dashboards in?

1)rename the current to old

2)rename the new to current.

or do I have to do the below.

1)clone the current to old

2)delete current

3) clone the new into current

4) delete the new

Hi @auzark ,

the main issue is that the app menu and the drilldown urls point to the name of a dashboard (not to the title as reports), so, if you clone a dashboard you have to modify all pointing urls.

So, my hint is to clone the current dashboard to <dashboard_name>_old (to save the old version) and then modify the current one, so you don't need to modify urls.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
