Copying dashboard/looks

How do I copy/duplicate a dashboard and looks and make changes to it without affecting the original looks ( If I am changing the filter on this new dashboard/looks it gives me a message saying it will make changes to the original look as well.)

Please help.

Thanks,
SS

When you move, or copy a dashboard thatโ€™s based on Looks, it also copies new versions of the Looks into the new location so the original dashboard isnโ€™t affected.

Also, you can select โ€œConvert Looks to Tilesโ€

which will basically turn each tile into its own mini-look that lives only on the dashboardโ€” So you can change the dashboard tiles to your hearts content without altering the looks it was originally based on.

@anakarina_lance wrote a great article explaining the difference between these tile types here: https://discourse.looker.com/t/look-linked-tiles-vs-query-tiles/7370

Thank you! This second tip is awesome. I usually go the first way.

oh wait. I do not have that option. what version of Looker is this?

Ignore earlier message.

Sounds like you got it sorted, but for the record, I think this functionality landed in Looker 5.2.

Hi all! 

When I try to copy a dashboard, I pull up my own folder to move the copy to and it wonโ€™t leet me save. Says I need access.
