Save changes with a pull request
Saving dashboard changes to a new branch lets you open a pull request for team review. This workflow enables collaboration, ensures dashboard quality through code review, and maintains approval processes before changes reach production.
To save changes with a pull request, complete the following steps:
In this section, you save changes to a new branch and open a pull request.
Make a small change to a provisioned dashboard.
Click Save. The Provisioned dashboard drawer opens on the Details tab.
On the Details tab, optionally confirm Repository folder (leave empty for the repo root), Filename, and Comment.
Optionally open Changes to review the diff, then return to Details. Do this before setting Branch, because switching tabs after setting a new branch can reset Branch to main.
Enter a new Branch name that doesn’t already exist, for example, add-latency-metrics. When Press Enter to create new branch appears, press Enter once.
Confirm your new branch is selected in Branch, then stay on Details.
Still on Details, with your new branch selected, scroll to the bottom of the drawer if needed, then click Save.
A successful new-branch save opens a Git Sync preview page (URL includes /dashboard/provisioning/).
On the Git Sync preview page, in the success banner, click Open pull request in GitHub.
If you are still on the normal dashboard edit page with no banner, the save used main — open Save again and keep the new branch selected through Save.
Git Sync creates a new branch, commits your changes, and opens GitHub so you can create the pull request. The PR includes your commit message and the dashboard changes.
In the next milestone, you’ll view and merge the pull request in GitHub.
