+Export a supported panel's configuration as JSON. The **Export JSON** option is available for **Lens** visualizations, **Links** and **Markdown** panels, and **Options list**, **Range slider**, and **ES|QL** controls.
+
+1. On the dashboard, from the panel menu, select **Export JSON**. When the menu contains an **Export** submenu, select **Export** → **Export JSON** instead.

+2. Review the JSON source in the flyout. For a panel linked to the library, the export shows the library reference by default. Turn on **Show full configuration** to export the panel's full configuration instead of its library reference.
+3. Select **Copy to clipboard** to copy the JSON, or **Download JSON** to save it to a file.
+
+A panel export contains only the panel configuration, not a complete dashboard definition. To export the dashboard or open a pre-populated Dashboards API request in Console, use [dashboard JSON export](#export-dashboard-json).
