I have the dashboard with the graphs working without any issue. One of the requirements for my project is the ability to download the file(csv/excel). In kibana the only option i saw for downloading the file is by clicking on edit button on the visualization created. Is it possible to add a link on the dashboard that would allow users to download the file without going into the edit mode. And secondly I would like to disable/hide the edit mode for anyone other than me who views the dashboard. Thanks ---

If you click the arrow button at the bottom of the graph on the dashboard you should see the data table, at the bottom of which you'll find the export links. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/1/192b37687a56d68ec1b94fd1ff6b64a7f8ae0859.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/c9fbc0896b3f4adc125661a4d27e7cc797fbf641.png) Currently we don't have functionality to modify the UI per user, but you could at least restrict users permissions to read-only if you're using [Shield](https://www.elastic.co/products/shield). ---

Hi Bargs, I'm new using Elastic. It seems to be that the functionality of exporting raw/formatted data disappeared in the last versions. Is there still a way to do it or I have to buy x-pack? ---

Which version are you using to generate the export details ---

It should still be possible to export data the same way in 6.x. The style of the arrow button changed, look for a little round button with an arrow in the bottom left corner of the visualization. ---

Will it be possible to do the same in version 5.6.5 without using any patches ---

Is this still available in Kibana 6? I'm having trouble finding the button to do CSV export in Visualize. Thanks! ---

Yes the button should still be there at the bottom of the visualization. ---

I also battled to find it. It seems the button loads later than the rest of the page - a tiny littly up arrow you need to click to see the data table and do an export. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/6/568e627e19cdf5cf6c584e5562a82cd4ea531aec.png) ---

The functionality is still there - click the `Inspect` button in the top menu to open a flyout with a "Download CSV" button: ![Screenshot 2020-02-11 at 11.46.24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/7/976c6d8b419b6a65470b871ebbcd45e5e387f53b.png) ---
