Update your dashboard's visibility

When you first create a dashboard, they are created in draft mode and are Unlisted, meaning that the new dashboard won't appear in any other user's search results. You must change the dashboard's visibility to Listed in order for other users to be able to find the dashboard.

Note
A dashboard's visibility is not related to access control. An unlisted dashboard can still be accessed by any user who has the link and the appropriate RBAC permissions to view it.

The way to make your dashboard's visibility Listed and available for other users to find depends on if you are viewing or editing the dashboard:

If you are editing the dashboard, click Mark as listed:

If you are viewing the dashboard, click the vertical ellipsis icon () and select Mark as listed:

To change a dashboard from listed to unlisted, click the vertical ellipsis icon () and select Mark as unlisted. This is the same whether you are viewing or editing the dashboard.
