Hello folks,

we are currently developing a monitoring platform for a large transportation company.

This platform monitors environments like development, integration, testing.  
You get the idea.

We maintain a large number of dashboards and visualizations in a separate Kibana "space" per environment.

When adding a new environment, we have to create dashboards and visualizations manually,  
as those depend on different indexes and cannot be copied.

Please advice how we can copy all dashboards and visualizations from one space to another.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @capitalism.exe ,

from your description it seems you're creating over from scratch dashboards or visualizations. Did I understand it right?  
Have you already considered the [spaces move over feature](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-spaces.html#spaces-moving-objects)?

As alternative the [export/import](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html#managing-saved-objects-export-objects) feature lets you reconfigure saved objects references when importing.

Hi Marco,

thanks for the quick reply.

It seems that [Saved Objects | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html#managing-saved-objects-export-objects) adresses our concrete problem best.

Will update this again when I get feedback from our UX experts.
