# Save changes with a pull request

Saving dashboard changes with a pull request creates a new branch and opens a PR 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:

1. Make changes to a provisioned dashboard and click **Save dashboard**.
2. In the **Provisioned dashboard** panel, configure the save options.
3. In the **Path** field, confirm the file path in the repository.
   
   For example, `dashboards/http-monitoring.json`.
4. For **Workflow**, select **Push to a new branch**. This creates a new branch and prepares a pull request instead of committing directly to main.
5. In the **Branch** field, enter a descriptive branch name.
   
   For example, enter `add-latency-metrics` or `update-error-visualization`.
6. In the **Comment** field, enter a commit message describing your changes.
   
   For example, enter `Add p95 and p99 latency visualizations for better performance monitoring`.
7. Optionally, click the **Changes** tab to review the differences between your updates and the original dashboard.The diff view shows the JSON modifications you made to the dashboard.
8. Click **Save**.
9. In the confirmation dialog, click **Open a pull request in GitHub**.

Git Sync creates a new branch, commits your changes, and opens GitHub in a new browser tab with a pre-filled 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.
