How can I navigate from Discover to Visualize (or vice versa) but keeping the current filters?

I don't think we have a way to automatically do this (yet). So, I generally keep multiple tabs open in my browser, and just copy / paste my filters across. Not pretty, but it gets the job done.

If you pin a filter in Visualize, you'll keep the filter in Discover. It may not remember your index.
