Can we move datasource, datasets, analsys , dashboards from one region to another region in same aws account and also from one aws account to another aws account.
I have created lot of dashboards in lower environment and need to push them into dev environment to avoid creating them again.
Structure should be transfered not the data

I’ve followed this process for Moving Between Regions or different AWS Account

QuickSight assets are region-specific, which means that they do not automatically replicate across regions. To move these assets
You have to

  1. Export Analysis and Dashboard definitions using the quicksight API into a json or cloudformation_json format.
  2. Before importing your analysis and dashboards, you must first recreate your data sources and datasets in the new region or a new account.
  3. After you have the .json file, you can use the AWS CLI to create or update the analysis and dashboards in the new region using that file.
    (OR)
  4. once you exported the json you can do some replacement of values you can upload that in clf also.
    Please make sure the datasets schemas, names should be same.

Can you elaborate how to convert the analsys into json format
Can you share the CLI commands for this process.

It will be very helpful if there is a clear example on this process
