📊 Dashboard Types
Choose the right access level for your analytics:- 🔒 Personal: Only you can view and edit

- Choose a color theme and emoji for easy identification
- Toggle auto-refresh on or off based on your monitoring needs
New dashboards automatically appear under the “Personal Dashboards” section until you share them.

To share with stakeholders outside your Rootly account:- Toggle on “Public link to view”

Public links provide view-only access and don’t require Rootly account authentication.
🗑️ Deleting Dashboards
Remove outdated or unnecessary dashboards:- Go to Metrics

Dashboard deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Consider duplicating important dashboards before deletion.
