DevTools provides a [Console](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/console-kibana.html) for nicer interaction with the REST API of Elasticsearch. DevTools can not be used to create/edit kibana visualizations.

`Management -> Saved Objects import/export` is designed for migrating kibana objects to other kibana instances.

The best way to auto create visualizations is with `Discover`. Click a field from the left side menu. Click the `visualize` button to create a visualization for that field
