New dashboard mode selector

Dashboards now have a mode drop-down list that replaces the Edit and Exit edit buttons. It displays your current mode, so you can see at a glance whether you’re viewing or editing a dashboard.

Select Editing to make manual changes to your dashboard, or Viewing to view and explore the dashboard.

Previously
