Design: Edit and Delete panels from a Metrics dashboard
Problem to solve
Editing and deleting a panel is an essential feature for a dashboard. Currently there's no way to edit or delete a panel in Metrics.
Intended users
User experience goal
I want to quickly edit a panel in a dashboard.
I want to quickly delete a panel from my dashboard.
Proposal
- Use a commit flow to edit and delete panels in custom dashboards.
- See #228661 (closed) for additional context around adding panels and the different parts of the commit flow.
- The limitation of the current experience is that removing a panel means you will no longer have access to metrics from that panel. We can let the user know about this by including a little note at the top of the modal. If there's more documentation about how metrics are handled, we should link to it.
- When alerts are introduced to custom dashboards, we should extend the disclaimer to include what happens to alerts when the panel is deleted.
Permissions and Security
Documentation
The feature will require docs.
Availability & Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
What is the type of buyer?
Is this a cross-stage feature?
