Troubleshooting Your Embed

Explo provides a straightforward way to version your dashboards or report builders. The following pages describe how this system works and how to use it.

Viewing Versions

In Explo, versions follow a linear history. You always start editing off of the most recent version of the dashboard or report builder.

Editing the Current Draft

All changes you make to the current draft are not yet made accessible to embed until you publish the draft as a new version.

Publishing a New Version

If you found some issues with your current version or just simply want to get back to a previous version you can click on the revert version menu button and it will revert to that version.

Reverting Versions

Managing Environment Tags

Embedding Environments

Hook your embedded dashboards up to your own analytics endpoints or configure Javascript events to receive information about page views and clicks. 

Analytics Reporting

Configure how dates, numbers, and currencies are formatted in your dashboards.

Internationalization

Timezones are annoying. Luckily Explo makes it easy to manage timezones for your dashboard on a granular level to enable you to serve data to your customers in the most accurate form possible.
