hi,  
I'm trying to make my Kibana dashboard to be a bit zoomed out because the dashboard at the default 100% browser zoom level doesn't look nearly as good as they do at around 75%. when i'm using it's no problem to zoom back but when I send link to others, their browser zoom isn't the same as mine. Is there somewhere you'd set the default zoom level for the dashboard?

Thanks

According to Thomas's comment here, it should persist the zoom level when the visualization was saved.
