Retrieve Analysis Associated with Published Dashboard Version

Hii, Is it possible to retrieve the analysis that was associated with a previously published version of a QuickSight dashboard?

We published a dashboard last year, and since then, the corresponding analysis has gone through several changes. Now, we need to access the version of the analysis that was used at the time the dashboard was published.

Is there a way to retrieve or view that specific version of the analysis?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

From dashboard you can publish previously available versions.

@Shahid_Muhammad , Thank you for your response, But i was referring to the analysis, not the dashboard.

I am following up to my question. Please let me know if there is any update. Thank you!

I can also able to see Save as Analysis option for other dashboards except the one i am working on right now.

Any suggestions please.?

Check if you have access to the “Share” control in the upper right corner when within the dashboard in question (usually just to the right of the Save as Analysis control. If you do, you can enable the ability to save as analysis if you have the appropriate permissions.

If not, a QuickSight admin user can use the Manage Assets function within the Manage QuickSight interface to assign ownership of any analysis or dashboard to another QuickSight Admin or Author user.

Hopefully this helps.

Hi @Kalyan_reddy

For some reason a lot of the simple things that should be available on the UI have been kept away from access to the administrator.

You can always fallback on the AWS CLI Commands to get the information.

Please use the describe-dashboard CLI command (see link to documentation below)

The command requires the dashboard ID to query. You can get the Dashboard ID from the Manage Assets page from Manage QuickSight and search using your dashboard name.

The output of the describe-dashboard gives you the Analysis ID in the SourceEntityArn field

You can get the name of the analysis from the Manage Assets page. Unfortunately you can not search the page with the analysis ID. So use some partial text which co-relates to your analysis to get a smaller list of analysis and then use the Find text search box to look for your ID.
