    The changes you made to the dashboard will all be saved into the current dashboard file.

    1. Click Run to turn the dashboard to the Run mode.
    2. Click Save As... and select a location in the repository and enter a new file name, or choose to rewrite the original dashboard file, as shown in Figure 2.35, “Save Your Dashboard in Run Mode”.

      If you forget to save the dashboard and close it, a message will display next time you try to open the dashboard, asking if you want to load last backup or load last save.

      If you want to continue editing the dashboard and keep the unsaved changes, select Load Last Backup.

      If you want to discard the unsaved edits and return to the dashboard you have most recently saved, select Load Last Save.

  2. If you accidentally overwrite your changes, you can restore one of the previous versions of the file:

    1. Click the Repository tab.
