Hi,

It would be very important for us to be able to import and export canvas workpads via the standard kibana saved objects page and APIs. I'm pretty sure that this would be handy for everybody to have all the saved object management in one place. Is this something that is planned for the future? Or is there currently any way to import and export canvas workpads via API?

Thanks and regards

Hi @tarkin67,

I just checked with the team and we already have an open issue for that feature that you can use to track the progress:

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/23165>

So the answer for your question right now is: currently is not possible to Import/Export workpads via Saved Objects Api but we are planning to add it near in the future 😃

Hope it helps,  
Cheers
