# Mark a dashboard as verified

> Mark a dashboard as verified in the console, with the Editor role or higher, so AI clients find it first and changes wait for a publish.

Updated: 2026-11-09

A verified dashboard carries a tick beside its name and comes first for AI clients. Changes to it wait until someone publishes them.

## Requirements

- The Editor role or higher in your workspace.
- To select **Verify**: the dashboard is your own.
- To delete a verified dashboard: the Admin role or higher.
- To work from your AI client: [Bonnard connected](https://bonnard.ai/docs/ai-clients/connect-your-ai-client.md).

## Mark the dashboard as verified

### In the console

1. In the console at `app.bonnard.ai`, select **Dashboards**.
2. Open the menu in the dashboard's row, then select **Verify**. The dashboard editor has the same button.

The message reads `Verified. Only you can see it`, with **Share**, when nobody else has the dashboard. Otherwise it reads `Verified`, with **Undo**.

**Verify** gives the dashboard to everyone with the Editor role or higher and access to its data source, whatever the first message says. It gives nobody else access. To give the dashboard to others, open the [Share dialog](https://bonnard.ai/docs/dashboards/share.md).

## Make sure it is verified

### In the console

1. In the console, select **Dashboards**, then the **Verified** filter.
2. Find the dashboard. A tick shows beside its name.

## Change a verified dashboard

Anyone with the Editor role or higher can change a verified dashboard. Readers keep the published version until someone publishes the changes.

### In your AI client

1. Ask:

   ```prompt
   Change the title of the <tile> tile on <dashboard> to <new title>.
   ```

   The agent replies `Saved your edit to verified <id> as unpublished changes.`

2. **In the console:** select **Publish changes** in the dashboard editor.

### In the console

1. In the console, open the dashboard, then select **Edit**.
2. Change a tile. The editor shows **Unpublished changes**.

## Publish the changes

### In the console

1. In the console, open the dashboard in the editor.
2. Select **Publish changes**. The message reads `Published`, and readers get this version.

To drop the changes, select **Discard changes**.

## Remove verification

### In the console

1. Open the menu in the dashboard's row, or **Dashboard actions** in the editor.
2. Select **Remove verification**. The tick goes, and changes go live with **Save**.

## Delete a verified dashboard

### In the console

Deleting a verified dashboard takes the Admin role or higher. You cannot undo it. An AI client gets this refusal:

```text
"<id>" is verified and cannot be deleted from chat; an admin can delete it in the console
```

1. In the console, select **Dashboards**, then the menu in the dashboard's row.
2. Select **Delete**, then **Delete** in the dialog.
