2. A flyout will be displayed where you can decide whether you want your links to be listed vertically or horizontally. We are selecting vertical for this example (a horizontal layout example is provided in the first gif in this post). Then click on the Add link button.

3. You can select to add a link to dashboards or to any other URLs. Select the dashboard labeled as Current to add a link to the open dashboard.

4. Add any custom text to display in your panel if you don’t want to use the original dashboard name and click Add link.

5. Keep doing the same for all the dashboards. Rearrange them by dragging and dropping them in this list.

6. Before clicking Save, you will realize there is a Save to library toggle that is on by default. This will allow you to reuse this panel in other dashboards later on. Since we need to add the same panel to our four dashboards, it will be faster and easier to manage if we reuse the same panel rather than creating multiple different panels. That way any edits to the panel will be automatically reflected in all dashboards. However, if you don’t need this, you can disable this option by turning off the toggle. You will always be able to make the decision later by using the save to library option from the panel menu.

7. After clicking Save, the following window will be displayed asking you to set a name for your Links panel and save it to the library.

8. You can now see your Links panel in the dashboard where you can resize it and move it around. The panel title set in the previous step is displayed by default, but you can hide it by clicking on it and turning off the Show title toggle.

9. We now have our Links panel in the dashboard!

11. Search for the Links panel name and click on it — it will automatically be added to the dashboard with the same width and height as the one you set in the previous dashboard.

If you don’t want to carry over your context, you can configure it when adding the links (step 4) by switching off the options highlighted in the image below. You can also decide to open the links in a new tab (usually helpful for external URLs).

Moreover, another cool feature that you can configure when adding the text for your Links (step 4) is emojis to differentiate external links versus dashboards or simply to make them more engaging and beautiful.
