Export an individual panel as JSON from the panel menu #7611

Description

@florent-leborgne

Summary

Adds an Export JSON action to the panel menu of all API-supported panel types (Lens visualizations, links, markdown, and options list, range slider, and ES|QL controls). It opens the same flyout as the dashboard-level Export JSON, letting you copy the panel's API-compatible JSON, open it in Console, or download it. For panels linked to the library (by-reference), a Show full configuration switch expands the reference into the complete definition. The flyout carries a Technical preview badge.

Why this needs docs: Why this needs docs: the sharing page documents the dashboard-level Export JSON workflow in detail, so a new per-panel entry point with its own flyout behavior (including the Show full configuration switch) is a step users would otherwise miss.

Suggested edits

Share and export dashboards > Export JSON

  • What the docs say: Open the dashboard, then select download Export → Export JSON from the application menu. In the flyout, review the JSON source... Copy to clipboard / Open in Console / Download JSON.
  • What to add: Add a tagged paragraph (or short sub-steps) noting you can also export a single panel: open the panel menu and select Export JSON to get that panel's API-compatible JSON in the same flyout, with the same copy, Open in Console, and download options. Mention the Show full configuration switch shown for library-linked (by-reference) panels, which expands the export to the panel's complete definition. Keep the existing dashboard-level content unchanged and scope the new paragraph with its own applies_to tag. Applies from 9.6.0 (technical preview) and in serverless.
