### Limitations
Restoring dashboards has the following limitations:
- **Permissions aren't preserved** - Dashboard-specific permissions are not restored. After restoration, you'll need to manually reconfigure any custom permissions that were previously set on the dashboard.
- **Folder-level permissions apply** - Restored dashboards inherit the permissions of the target folder you select during restoration.
- **Version history is reset** - The dashboard's version history is not preserved. After restoration, the dashboard starts with version 1, and all previous versions are lost.
