Hi everyone, Since Kibana v8.15 and of course in v8.15.1 the Dashboard short Share Link doesn't work as expected, one user opened an [issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/191090), although has been [improved](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.15/whats-new.html#_sharing_improvements). Is there a workaround to get in Kibana v8.15.1 Dashboard short Share Link? Thanks a lot. Best regards, Gabriele ---

Check this other [issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192980), the workaround should be to add `embed=true` to the copied URL. ---

Hi Jorge, Before in Kibana v8.11.1 it was possible to have this kind of short link: `https:///app/r/s/tEsT12` Now with v8.15.1 it's not possible anymore. For this kind of short link is there a way to have it in v8.15.1 (workaround)? Thanks. Best regards, Gabriele ---

There is no direct workaround, I'm afraid.

If anyone else is searching for a workaround until this gets fixed, you can build you own URL with the below API call. You can even specify you own 4 char short URL by specifying the parameter "slug" (humanReadableSlug need to be removed) ```auto POST kbn:api/short_url { "locatorId": "LEGACY_SHORT_URL_LOCATOR", "params": { "url": "/app/discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:60000),time:(from:now-1m,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(),dataSource:(dataViewId:a2aff44e-17d6-4873-912a-445e7c77b7a5,type:dataView),filters:!(),hideChart:!f,interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:''),sort:!(!('@timestamp',desc)))" }, "humanReadableSlug": true } ``` ---

Hi Sebastian, I just tested the API on the DevTools Console and it works also with Dashboard Link. Thank you! Best regards, Gabriele
