Hi,

we configured our kibana (7.0.0) to automatically send an Email with a dashboard every day according to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/automating-report-generation.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/automating-report-generation.html)  
Now everytime we change something in our dashboard we have to copy the new Post URL into the Watcher.

Can we somehow configure kibana to send the current state of the dashboard and not the snapshot? When I choose share-\>Permalink I can chose between Snapshot (current version) and Saved object (includes future changes). Share-\>PDF-Reports only gives me Copy POST URL.

Thanks and br

It is not currently possible to use the current dashboard state for automatic reports. But this sounds like a reasonable request. Would you mind [adding a new Feature Request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) to the Kibana GitHub repo?
