+# Create new dashboards
+
+With Netdata Cloud, you can build new dashboards that put key metrics from any number of distributed systems in one
+place for a bird's eye view of your infrastructure. You can create more meaningful visualizations for troubleshooting or
+keep a watchful eye on your infrastructure's most meaningful metrics without moving from node to node.
+
+In the War Room you want to monitor with this dashboard, click on your War Room's dropdown, then click on the green **+
+Add** button next to **Dashboards**. In the panel, give your new dashboard a name, and click **+ Add**.
+
+Click the **Add Chart** button to add your first chart card. From the dropdown, select the node you want to add the
+chart from, then the context. Netdata Cloud shows you a preview of the chart before you finish adding it. 
+
+The **Add Text** button creates a new card with user-defined text, which you can use to describe or document a
+particular dashboard's meaning and purpose. Enrich the dashboards you create with documentation or procedures on how to
+respond

+
+Charts in dashboards are [fully interactive](/docs/visualize/interact-dashboards-charts.md) and synchronized. You can
+pan through time, zoom, highlight specific timeframes, and more.
+
+Move any card by clicking on their top panel and dragging them to a new location. Other cards re-sort to the grid system
+automatically. You can also resize any card by grabbing the bottom-right corner and dragging it to its new size.
+
+Hit the **Save** button to finalize your dashboard. Any other member of the War Room can now access it and make changes.
+
+## Jump to single-node Cloud dashboards
+
+While dashboards help you associate essential charts from distributed nodes on a single pane of glass, you might need
+more detail when troubleshooting an issue. Quickly jump to any node's dashboard by clicking the 3-dot icon in the corner
+of any card to open a menu. Hit the **Go to Chart** item.
+
+Netdata Cloud takes you to the same chart on that node's dashboard. You can now navigate all that node's metrics and
+[interact with charts](/docs/visualize/interact-dashboards-charts.md) to further investigate anomalies or troubleshoot
+complex performance problems.
+
+When viewing a single-node Cloud dashboard, you can also click on the add to dashboard icon <img
+src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/87587846-827fdb00-c697-11ea-9f31-aed0b8c6afba.png" alt="Dashboard
+icon" class="image-inline" /> to quickly add that chart to a new or existing dashboard. You might find this useful when
+investigating an anomaly and want to quickly populate a dashboard with potentially correlated metrics.
+
+## Pin dashboards and navigate through Netdata Cloud
+
+Click on the **Pin** button in any dashboard to put those charts into a separate panel at the bottom of the screen. You
+can now navigate through Netdata Cloud freely, individual Cloud dashboards, the Nodes view, different War Rooms, or even
+different Spaces, and have those valuable metrics follow you.
+
+Pinning dashboards helps you correlate potentially related charts across your infrastructure and discover root causes
+faster.
+
+## What's next?
+
+While it's useful to see real-time metrics on flexible dashboards, you need ways to know precisely when an anomaly
+strikes. Every Netdata Agent comes with a health watchdog that uses [alarms](/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) and
+[notifications](/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md) to notify you of issues seconds after they strike.
