## Introduction

Dashboards are a powerful feature in Brewit.ai that allow you to organize and display **charts**, **markdown blocks**, and **links** in a customizable layout. Whether you're tracking KPIs, project progress, or data analysis results, dashboards offer a centralized view of your data.

## Creating a Dashboard

Creating a dashboard involves selecting charts, configuring layout options, and customizing appearance settings to suit your needs. Follow these steps to start building your dashboard:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Define Your Dashboard">
    Initiate the creation of a new dashboard by specifying a title, description,
    and the type of dashboard (e.g., Dashboard or Report) you wish to create.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Charts and Blocks">
    Incorporate various types of blocks, such as charts, markdown for narrative,
    and links for external resources. Click the `Chart` button you've created or
    use the updated chart features for enhanced visualization options.

## Mode

Customizing and managing your dashboards is straightforward in Brewit.ai:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="View Mode" icon="eye">
    Switch to view mode to see how your dashboard appears to others, helping you
    ensure that the layout and content are perfectly aligned with your
    objectives.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Edit Mode" icon="pen-to-square">
    Enter the edit mode to rearrange blocks, update chart configurations, or
    modify dashboard properties.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fullscreen Mode" icon="presentation-screen">
    Use fullscreen mode for presentations or to focus on dashboard insights
    without distractions.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Data Refresh

You can manually refresh your dashboard to ensure that you're viewing the most recent data. However, dashboards are not updated in real-time, due to the potential performance impact on the underlying data sources.

## Sharing and Collaboration

Dashboards are designed for collaboration. Share your dashboards with team members to provide them with valuable insights, or use shared dashboards as a discussion point in team meetings and strategy sessions. You can also change the access to public or **internal**.
