We are able to create query to query kibana audit events for changes regarding alerting rules and ml jobs. However it doesnt seems like there is any option for us to do the same for dashboard. For example. we want to know who created the dashbaord., who made changes to the dashboard or the respective widget of the dasboard. Is this even possible?

If this is indeed not possible.

1. Are we able to LOCK the dashboard only for specific user who has access to change the dashboard?

2. If above is still not possible. Can we revert to the changes prior to a selected date or revert xx changes?

Kindly advice

You can make a dashboard read-only for any users besides the dashboard owner starting in 9.3. Details are [here](https://www.elastic.co/search-labs/blog/kibana-dashboards-read-only-permissions).
