How to make collapse option default for the kibana dashboard. Can we do that. It would be great if any one would suggest a solution for this.

Thank you.

open/close status of the nav bar gets stored in your local storage, so once you set it it should stay that way. I don't think its possible to set this globally for all users at the moment.

You can follow this issue on github: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/12958](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/12958)
