Update a dashboard
Refine an existing dashboard with prompts or direct edits.
The chat sidebar has two modes:
Flitch makes the change directly. Use this when you know what you want changed.
Examples:
- "Add a chart on page two showing average deal size by owner."
- "Switch the theme to match our brand: primary blue, accent orange."
- "Replace the bar chart with a horizontal one and sort by value descending."
- "Move the KPI cards to the top of page one."
- "Filter all charts to last 90 days."
Edits are scoped: Flitch updates only the relevant pages and chart configs. The preview reloads automatically.
Read only. Flitch answers questions about the data or the dashboard without modifying it.
Examples:
- "What's the highest value deal in the pipeline?"
- "Which page shows revenue by product?"
- "Why is the chart on page three empty?"
Switch modes from the dropdown at the top of the chat sidebar.
Attach more
Click the button in the chat input to attach context or browse history:
- Upload file: images are used as visual reference (target layout, brand assets, design notes). To bring in data from a PDF or document, connect it on the Data page with Upload & extract.
- Data: attach additional datasets to include in the edit.
- Versions: browse and restore previous versions of this dashboard. See Versions.
Queue follow-ups
You don't have to wait for an edit to finish before writing the next one. While a run is going, the send button becomes a queue button beside Stop, and Enter does the same thing. The follow-up waits its turn instead of being refused.
Queued prompts sit in a strip above the chat input, in the order you wrote them, and the top one runs the moment the current turn finishes.
Each prompt keeps what the composer held when you queued it: Edit or Ask mode, any files (uploaded straight away, so they're ready when its turn comes), attached datasets, and the element you had selected in the Inspector.
While a prompt is waiting you can:
- Reorder it with the arrows, to change what runs next.
- Edit the text by clicking it. The queue is held while you type, so a run finishing mid-edit can't send the words you're still correcting.
- Remove it with the cross.
The queue is kept per dashboard and survives a refresh. Reopen within a couple of hours and it picks up where it was; leave it longer and the prompts come back as cards to send by hand, so nothing you queued this morning starts running because you opened a tab this afternoon.
A queue never carries on unattended
Four things hand the rest of the queue back to you rather than carrying on: stopping the run, a turn that failed, running out of credits partway through a chain, and restoring an earlier version. Each one puts the remaining prompts in the chat as cards saying why they're there, for you to Send or Discard. Credits are re-checked as each prompt goes out, not when you queued it.
Inline edits
For small changes you don't need the chat:
- Click any chart or value to open the Inspector.
- The inspector has Data and Design tabs for value editing, formulas, conditional rules, layout, theme, and chart type.
Versions
Each update creates a new version. The current version is what the editor and the published URL show.
Browse history via the chat sidebar's menu, then Versions. Pick one to preview, then click Restore to make it current. No URL change. Restoring doesn't delete newer versions. They stay in history.
Versions snapshot the dashboard's structure, not its data. The data shown is the current state of the connected source.
Drafts and publishing
Edits are draft until you republish. Open the publish dropdown to make them live. See Publishing.
