Hi Forum

Is there a way to add the "View surrounding documents" view to the Kibana Dashboard?  
If so, can anyone please point me to the details on how to do it?

Thanks  
Lokesh

If you add a saved search to a dashboard, the view surrounding documents option will be available when you click the triangle on the left. More information on this can be found here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/document-context.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/document-context.html)
