Hi, when I create a report it shows this box **(Save session Manage sessions)** that is not part of the dashboard

Interesting I cant replicate it. Which kibana version are you using?

7.13.3

I create the reports with a bash script, in the POST URL there is a filter like:

`...,params:(query:MY-HOST),type:phrase),query:(match_phrase:(azure.resource.name.keyword:MY-HOST)...`

In the script I have an array of host that feeds that filter, maybe that filter interfere when the screen is captured?

what if I use the search bar instead? is more faster than the filter?

the reports are in PDF by the way.

I dont think so, this should not be part of the report regardless how you generate it (unless I am missing something)

If you create the report manually from the Share menu do you also see the Manage search sessions popover?

@Stratoula_Kalafateli is the length of the dashboard, I delete some visualizations the bottom and I got this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/c/1ce12e4c3732cb5c09aa26b71cabf7bcc20a7f38.png)

I need to show all the visualization in one page, any configuration relative to size/length to get rid of the box, thats comes to mind?

**Update:**  
So I use optimize for printing and this is the message that is showing:

</div>

to get rid of the message I have to put this setting in kibana.yml  
`xpack.data_enhanced.search.sessions.enabled: false`  
I dont know how this will affect kibana but it works.
