Dashboards & Visualizations

Does a cloned dashboard contain its own set of sub panels and searches?

We have a very detailed Splunk dashboard in our team and I want to be able to clone my own copy so I can make changes and dig into the searches without worrying about changing the dashboard I cloned FROM or any of the sub panels of that dashboard.

Question: Does my cloned dashboard have its own set of sub panels and searches such that my changing ANY part of my cloned dashboard WILL NOT change the original?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That is correct. As long as you're only modifying the dashboard xml of your cloned version, you should be good.
