This topic describes how you can edit, copy, and delete your dashboard's widgets.

## Editing a Widget

When you first create a new dashboard (as described in [Creating Dashboards](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/creating-dashboards.md)) or a new widget (as described in [Adding Widgets to a Dashboard](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/adding-widgets-to-a-dashboard-overview.md)), the
Widget Wizard automatically guides you through Sisense's best recommendations for visualizing the data that you select.

After a widget is created, you can fine-tune/edit it in the [Designing Widgets](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/widget-designer.md).
The Widget Designer provides a variety of options for changing the widget's appearance and behavior.

See [Fine-tuning a Widget](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/widget-designer.md#Fine-tun) for more information.

## Copying a Widget

You can create a copy of a widget within the same dashboard or another dashboard in your list. This is useful for
saving the original widget in the dashboard before making changes. The new widget is separate from the original so
no changes to the new widget affect the original widget.

**To copy a Widget within the same dashboard:**

- In Dashboard view, click the widget menu ![8 6v7menu](https://docs.sisense.com/main/Resources/Images/8-6v7menu3.png)  
   button in the top-right corner of the widget to be copied and select
  **Duplicate**.

- If you are editing the widget, click the widget menu ![8 6v7menu](https://docs.sisense.com/main/Resources/Images/8-6v7menu4.png)  
   button in the top-right corner of the widget to be copied and select
  Save A Copy.

**To copy a Widget to another dashboard:**

- Select the Header of the widget to be copied and drag it to the target dashboard.

  **Note:**

  When you copy a widget to another dashboard whose data source is another ElastiCube, the Dashboard
  filters of the new dashboard will not affect the widget.
