Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. I'm trying to find instructions for adding a X-Pack/Graph to any of my existing Dashboards as a static pic, and when clicked bring the user to the X-pack Graph app. Thanks.

Hi Brian,  
Currently there is no automated means of doing this.

If you manually take a screenshot of a graph you can use the Markdown widget [1] in a dashboard to render this image and provide a link [2] to a saved Graph workspace. Example markdown below:

```
![alt text](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C22fzEXXgAAv8pi.jpg:thumb "Example graph title")
[Open in Graph](https://localhost:5601/jgx/app/graph#/workspace/bbf6eda0-dccc-11e6-9c56-9bdc3655a367)

```

Here's an example of a dashboard with the above Markdown widget embedded:

Hope this helps.
