What Does It Mean To Make A Copy Of A Dashboard Or Report In Salesforce Lightning?

When you “Save As” a new dashboard or report you are saving an exact copy of the dashboard or report you are viewing, including all filters and views you have included. You will now have the ability to change filters or add new views and reports that populate a dashboard. This is a great option when you like the base of the report or dashboard you already built but need to change the data you are viewing without hitting your 3 filter and/or join limit.
