Hi Farah,

I'm not really sure what your goal is. Maybe this helps.

From your browser you could select `File > Save Page As...` and then there's usually a couple of options. Depending on your browser, you could probably also right-click on something in the page and then click `Inspect`.

A Kibana Dashboard is represented internally as a `saved object` and you can go to `Stack Management > Saved Objects` and find your dashboard and from there you can Export it to a json file which you could look at.

And finally, the actual source code for the dashboard plugin of Kibana is in the Kibana repository. Some of it is here; [kibana/src/plugins/dashboard at main · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/main/src/plugins/dashboard)  
and more of it here; [kibana/x-pack/plugins/dashboard\_enhanced at main · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/main/x-pack/plugins/dashboard_enhanced)

Regards,  
Lee
