> ## Agent Instructions
> Orion is a collaborative analytics platform built by Gravity (bygravity.com). It connects to data warehouses, to Looker and dbt for existing business logic, and to a small set of external-context sources, and it lets teams ask questions in natural language to get shared analyses, dashboards, reports, and slide decks. The Connecting Data Sources page is the authoritative list of supported sources. When referencing Orion features, always link to the relevant documentation page. Orion is not open-source; it is a commercial SaaS product accessed at runorion.com.

# Edit a Dashboard

> Change a dashboard by pointing at what is wrong

Dashboards are edited by telling Orion what to change, aimed at the exact element you mean. There are two surfaces for it.

## Editing from chat

With the dashboard open in its panel beside the chat, click **Edit**. The cursor becomes a crosshair, and clicking any card, heading, or text element selects it and offers a **Comment** button.

Your comments collect in a panel, so you can send them together. Click more elements and write what to change about each one. For example, "make this a bar chart", or "this title should say Q3". Then click **Send**. Orion applies the whole batch, the canvas refreshes itself, and edit mode exits. If the result is not correct, send a follow-up reply in the same thread.

Edit mode is off by default, so filters and charts stay interactive until you ask for it.

You can also skip the pointing entirely and just ask in chat: "change the dashboard title to Q1 2026 Report".

## The dashboard editor

A dashboard also has its own editor. From the project page, open the dashboard card's menu and choose **Edit Dashboard**. The **Edit** button on a published dashboard's page opens the same editor.

You cannot drag a card to a new position, and you cannot resize or delete one by hand. Orion builds each dashboard on a layout it writes itself, so the layout is not a grid you rearrange. A banner at the top of the editor says the same thing.

What the editor gives you instead is a way to aim an instruction. Click a card to select it, then describe the change. Every structural change goes through the chat panel, including moving a card, removing one, or reordering a section.

The editor header holds **Save** and **Discard**, an unsaved-changes indicator, and a **Chat** button that docks Orion beside the canvas.

Highlight any text on the dashboard and an **Ask Orion** pill appears, attaching your selection to the next chat message. It is the fastest way to say "this number looks wrong" about the number itself.

<Tip>
  Save before asking the chat for an edit. Orion works from the saved version
  of the dashboard, and the editor warns you if there are unsaved changes.

## Who can edit

Editing requires edit access on the project: Analysts, Admins, and the project owner. Viewers can [explore](/dashboards/explore) but not change.
