What is the purpose of saving a dashboard as new in Smartsheet?

The purpose of saving a dashboard as new in Smartsheet is to allow modifications without altering the original. When users make a copy of a dashboard, they can experiment with adjustments, such as changing charts, adding or removing widgets, or tweaking the layout without fear of losing the original configuration. This is particularly useful for teams that need to present multiple versions of a dashboard for different stakeholders but still want to maintain a base template. By preserving the original dashboard, users can ensure that they have a reliable reference point while exploring variations and enhancements in a separate instance.
