Working with the editor

One of the first things you need to learn to do is save and edit a particular dashboard. Usually, when using the term open the dashboard, we are referring to the operation of calling the dashboard using the generatedContent endpoint, which will execute the dashboard in the browser. This way, you will execute the dashboard and be able to interact with the dashboard. This is the operation that the final user will perform when requesting a dashboard.

There is another term that is frequently used, open the dashboard using the edit mode, which refers to the process of editing the dashboard in a way that you can make changes to the dashboard or just look at its layout, components, and data sources. This operation can be done using both wcdf.edit and the edit endpoints.

From now on, just let's use open and edit, the first when referring to the call to the dashboard to render the dashboard, and the second to make changes to the layout, components, or data sources.
