Your organization may already have multiple ADX dashboards that are used frequently to analyze and visualize critical data. Now, you can easily bring those dashboards into Microsoft Fabric, a more powerful ecosystem without relocating your data.

- Leverage new features: take advantage of advanced functionalities like enhanced sharing and permission management, integration with PowerBI OrgApps, Git and ALM support, visual exploration capabilities and more.
- Easy discovery of organizational dashboards: use Fabric’s workspace advanced search and filter capabilities to locate your dashboards and easily browse through your organization’s dashboards.
- Expand your analytics ecosystem: integrate your dashboards into the Fabric environment for unified data governance, scalability, and security.
