2.2 Copying Widgets (Panels)

What

Copy an existing Grafana panel, called a widget in this KB series, when another dashboard already has the view you need.

When/Why

This is useful when a panel already has the right query, visualization, or layout and you want to reuse it in a custom dashboard instead of rebuilding it. The video below copies panels from existing dashboards into a new custom dashboard.

How

Copying existing dashboard content is a normal Grafana workflow: copy the panel, paste it into the target dashboard, adjust it if needed, and repeat for the next panel.
