Explore busy panels with the new View panel sidebar
When a graph packs in dozens of series, understanding which ones share an anomaly means visually tracing overlapping lines. Plus, if you’re a viewer, you can’t toggle the legend or stacking to get a clearer look, because those options live in edit mode. Now, the View panel sidebar provides controls to explore it on the spot.
Organize dashboards faster with multi-select grouping
Organizing a dashboard is now faster with multi-select grouping. In edit mode, you can select multiple panels at once and instantly group them into a row or a tab, making it easy to restructure dashboards without moving panels one by one.
Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14
Scripted dashboards will be removed in Grafana 14. Scripted dashboards are a legacy mechanism that we deprecated years ago and are now retiring. If you use them, plan to migrate before you upgrade to Grafana 14, after which they’ll stop working entirely. Grafana now offers dynamic dashboards and robust as-code solutions for managing dashboards at scale.
Custom label retention for Knowledge Graph
Grafana Cloud Knowledge Graph normalizes your telemetry into a fixed set of well-known labels, which means organization-specific labels like team , region , or cost_center are dropped during processing. With custom label retention, you can choose which of your own labels to keep on knowledge graph entities and recording rules.

Improved auto layout indication when editing dashboards
When you edit a dashboard that uses auto layout, Grafana manages panel sizes automatically. Until now, it wasn’t always clear why dragging the lower-right corner of a panel had no effect or how to change the layout. In edit mode, Grafana now shows a layout indicator on the tab you’re working with and when you hover over a row.
