When you're working on a project and sharing multiple dashboards with users, you might create an index page to help them easily navigate between screens.

By default, clicking a URL link from the index often opens it in the same new tab, overwriting the previous one. To stop this and make sure each link opens in a separate new tab, you can do the following:

  1. Add ?:embed=yes&:linktarget=_blank to the end of the navigation page's URL.
  2. Share the updated URL with your users.
