My saved visualizations are not loading in canvas.  
The method used involved using the expression editor to allow for saved lens visualizations to be loaded into Canvas, and respond to global filters.

The script used to look like this:

```auto
filters | savedLens id="5c821684-df62-4f78-80a6-613c35b71926" timerange={timerange from= {var startTime} to={var endTime}}

| render

```

Where the savedLens id points to the id of my visualization, and the time range fields are defined in the Variables window.

After updating to v9, the expression editor now reads:

```auto
filters

| embeddable 

  config="eyJ0aW1lUmFuZ2UiOnsiZnJvbSI6eyJ0eXBlIjoiZXhwcmVzc2lvbiIsImNoYWluIjpbeyJ0eXBlIjoiZnVuY3Rpb24iLCJmdW5jdGlvbiI6InZhciIsImFyZ3VtZW50cyI6eyJfIjpbInN0YXJ0VGltZSJdfX1dfSwidG8iOnsidHlwZSI6ImV4cHJlc3Npb24iLCJjaGFpbiI6W3sidHlwZSI6ImZ1bmN0aW9uIiwiZnVuY3Rpb24iOiJ2YXIiLCJhcmd1bWVudHMiOnsiXyI6WyJlbmRUaW1lIl19fV19fSwic2F2ZWRPYmplY3RJZCI6IjFhMWI5Y2Q3LTIxYjMtNDBmNi05YWE1LTM4N2ZhZWI1OTA0YiJ9" type="lens"

| render

```

Using the old script does nothing, and refreshing the page brings back the new script.  
Any suggestion on how to fix this? Currently on Elastic 9.3.4.
