# Dashboard Templates
> Start a dashboard from a ready layout and change any widget afterwards.
Every new dashboard starts from a **template**: a ready layout of widgets. Pick the one closest to what you want to watch, then add, move or remove widgets as you like. Changing a dashboard never changes its template.
Required permission:
* Add dashboard
## Create a dashboard
1. Open **Analytics › Dashboard** and click **New**.
2. Type a **Dashboard name**.
3. Click a template.
4. Click **Preview dashboard**.
1. **Dashboard name**: the name shown in the dashboard list, for example *Morning operations*.
2. **Blank**: an empty canvas, to add only the widgets you want.
3. **Selected template**: the template you picked. Each card shows the template's name, what it is for and how many widgets it has. **Default Dashboard** is picked when the dialog opens.
4. **Preview dashboard**: open the layout with your own numbers.
The preview is **not saved yet**. A *Not saved* banner says so. Drag and resize widgets, add or remove some, then click **Save** to create the dashboard. If you leave or click **Discard**, nothing is added to your dashboards. See [Editing a Dashboard](/pages/analytics/editing-a-dashboard).
A new dashboard is private. Only you can see it until you share it.
