You can of course make changes to [the source code](https://github.com/elastic/kibana) and rebuild. Depending on the kind of customizations you want to make there might be shortcuts.

See [Dashboard and visualizations | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard.html#embedding-dashboards).
