Dashboards now include a 'Discover session' option under the 'New Panel' menu, allowing users to create a by-value Discover session directly from the dashboard editor. Clicking this option opens Discover in embeddable editor mode where users can configure their exploration, then save it to return to the dashboard with the configured panel. Previously, users had to first save a Discover session separately and then add it from the library.
