Hi @MTV ,

the sync is not automatic, and you have to enable it manually.  
If you open the expression editor for the `Lens` visualization, you can prepend `filters | savedLens ...` to it and the dropdown will work as filter for the Lens visualization.

Mind that time filters for Canvas and the Lens embeddables have distinct time ranges, so pay attention to that when looking results.
