The workaround I found at [Change the default time range?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/change-the-default-time-range/107516) doesn't work for Kibana 6.3.

To change the default timepicker range, go to **Management \> Advanced Settings** and look for the setting `timepicker:timeDefaults`. Documentation for the `from` and `to` date syntax can be found here:
