## Editing a new dashboard
1. Open your new dashboard and in the top right of the screen, select the {% icon "mdi:pencil" %} button.
2. If you are editing a **Default dashboard** for the first time, you need to take control before you can edit it:
- The **Edit dashboard** dialog appears.
- By editing the dashboard, you are taking over control of this dashboard.
- This means that it is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
- **Result**: The **Edit dashboard** dialog appears.
2. Select the areas you want to show on this new dashboard and select **Save**.
3. If you want to have more detailed control over the dashboard, you need to take control:
- This means that this dashboard is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
- Once you've taken control, you can't get this specific dashboard back to update automatically. However, you can create a new default dashboard.
- To continue, in the dialog, select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu, then select **Take control**.
3. You can now [add a card](/dashboards/cards/#adding-cards-to-your-dashboard) or [add a view](/dashboards/views/#adding-a-view-to-a-dashboard).
4. You can now [add a badge](/dashboards/badges/#adding-a-badge-to-your-dashboard), [add a card](/dashboards/cards/#adding-cards-to-your-dashboard), or [add a view](/dashboards/views/#adding-a-view-to-a-dashboard).
