Effortlessly share your [custom dashboards](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/introduction.md) within your organization by importing and exporting them, eliminating the need to recreate them and minimizing overhead.

## Import a custom dashboard[​](#import-a-custom-dashboard "Direct link to Import a custom dashboard")

1

<!-- -->

.

In the Dashboards List, select **Import**.

2

<!-- -->

.

In the popup that appears, select a `.json` file to upload or paste your copied JSON. If you want to place the imported dashboard in a specific folder, pick one from the folder selector.

3

<!-- -->

.

Select **Next**.

4

<!-- -->

.

Review the dashboard summary on the confirmation step, and then select **Import** to add it to your catalog.

To revise your input before confirming, select **Back** to return to the previous step, your uploaded file, pasted JSON, and folder selection are preserved.

Note

If the imported JSON includes a custom URL slug, Coralogix appends `_imported` to it so the new dashboard does not collide with the slug of the dashboard you exported from. The resulting slug must be unique within your team; if another dashboard already uses it, the import is blocked until you edit the slug in the JSON.

## Export a custom dashboard[​](#export-a-custom-dashboard "Direct link to Export a custom dashboard")

Open the **Export** menu from either of these locations:

* The more actions menu on a dashboard card in the catalog.
* The **Export** button in the dashboard header.

Both menus offer the same three options:

* **Download as PDF**: downloads the dashboard as a PDF file. For format and layout options, see [Save a dashboard as a PDF](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/tutorials/save-a-dashboard-as-a-pdf.md).
* **Download as JSON**: downloads the dashboard definition as a JSON file.
* **Copy JSON to clipboard**: copies the dashboard JSON to your clipboard.

When the dashboard has changes you have not saved, both JSON options show an **Includes unsaved changes** note, and the exported JSON reflects what is currently on screen.

Note

**Download as JSON** and **Copy JSON to clipboard** are unavailable for dashboards that have not yet been saved.

Note

The exported JSON includes the dashboard's custom URL slug, if one is set. The slug is preserved as-is when you use the exported JSON with [Replace a custom dashboard](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/tutorials/replace-a-custom-dashboard.md). Regular imports append `_imported` to it instead, to avoid collisions with the source dashboard.
