Greetings,

We have a series of related dashboards. Each of them has a navigation panel (simple markdown) at the bottom (to navigate to the other related dashboards).

We're looking for a way to pin/freeze/float that panel, so it remains visible regardless of scrolling of the overall dashboard.

I see this was discussed in git, but closed: [Lock input controls when scrolling · Issue #22959 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/22959)

A) Anyone have any creative ideas for how to handle this all within Kibana?  
B) Anyone else have an interest in such a capability? (Wondering if it is worth opening another enhancement request in git)

Thanks!

This is not current possible, but I can see the benefit.  
I would recommend submitting a feature request.

The other way to go about it (as I been told by elastic) is to develop your plugin in Kibana.

[Kibana plugins | Kibana Guide [8.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-plugins.html)

fyi I also submitted a feature request to make links to related dashboards be added outside of the dashboard space, perhaps that would make the freeze panel implementation easier [[Dashboard][Links] Redesign Links as Tabs · Issue #211641 · elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/211641)
