Dear All, I am using ELK stack version 7.9.2 on Debian buster (amd64) I build 2 dashboards with a visualization where I can navigate between these 2 dashboards. I enter a filter with the "+ add filter" button in one of these dashboards and press the "pin all" button. Then I change to the other dashboard but the filter settings are gone. I also run an ELK stack on a different server with version 6.6.1 and there it works. So I am wondering. Are there any additional setting necessary in version 7.9.2 so that the "pin all" button is really working ? Even the "pin across all apps" button does not work in my case. Any feedback is welcome. Kind regards Hans ---

How exactly are you navigating between dashboards? Filters will generally be pinned as long as you don't do a hard refresh. ---

Hi Wylie, many thanks for your feedback. You are right. It seems to be how I change from one dashboard to the other. This is the entry in the markdown section for the navigation. `[bind9: overview](/goto/cb5992867aa59a5820615d13b8bab1f7) / [bind9: flags](/goto/ab85dff9eab7de408d1063db2e024042)` When I go over the main menu and selecting the other dashboard then I don't loose the filter settings. Maybe this "goto" is wrong ? I am quite sure there is anywhere a documentation. But I didn't find it how to do. Kind regards Hans ---

That explains why you are seeing this behavior, that's part of the [url shortening](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/url-shortening-api.html). Here are your options: 1. Use relative links instead of the short URLs. As long as you don't do a full page refresh, the filters will be kept on dashboards. 2. For a non-markdown solution, you can use the new [dashboard drilldowns](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/drilldowns.html) feature which was released in 7.9 ---

Hi Wylie, many thanks for your tips. I was able to solve my problem. I changed the links and now it's working. I also tried to follow the instruction how to create a drilldown. But this I couldn't manage. Kind regards Hans -- ---
