    • If the visualization is included on one or more dashboards, a selection dialog box opens listing any dashboards to which the visualization is linked. You have the following options:

      • Unlink all and delete – The visualization is unlinked from all dashboards and is deleted from the visualization library. Local copies of the visualization are retained on the individual dashboards, but they are no longer linked to the library. hose local copies of the visualization will no longer display the library icon (icon-library.png).

      • Delete Linked – Before clicking this option, decide which of the listed dashboards you want to unlink the visualization from. For each dashboard you want to unlink the visualization from, click the Unlink option on the right to toggle it into a separate Unlinked Dashboards list at the bottom of the dialog box. Then click Delete Linked. The visualization is deleted from the library and removed from each dashboard it remains linked to. For the dashboards you unlinked, a local copy of the visualization is retained, but it is no longer linked to the library. Those local copies of the visualization will no longer display the library icon (icon-library.png).
