Hello everyone,

I’m using Grafana as an add-on in Home Assistant and I want to publicly share a dashboard/panel (with updated data) and because the functionality to share a public dashboard is not yet added in the addon version, I wanted to know if there is a way to automatically update the snapshots with keeping the same URL.

Thanks in advance  
fsl

Hi @fsl17

Since snapshots show data captured at the moment of the creation of the snapshot itself, how can we expect to use them to display updated data?

It seems that, at the moment, sharing the URL is the only way to present dashboards which data updates according to the refresh time interval picked.

You could try to reach out to the developers of the addon via their [github issues page](https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-grafana/issues)
