Insights Board created before v1.0.9 have limited functionality.

An Insights Board presents the findings from your workflow, such as visualizations, tables, and notes, in a customizable layout. It can be shared with other users in your organization and can be updated continuously if it's created on top of a live data source, such as a database.

An Insights Board is interactive. Investigate data in your charts, adjust visualizations, and page through tables just as you would in a session. You can also customize the layout of the panels within the Insights Board.
