Summary

A customer asked what a /minimal/ dashboard link is, how a stakeholder ended up with one, and how to make sure people get the standard view. Nothing in the docs covered it.

  • Adds The minimal view to Interacting with dashboards: how to recognize it, what it strips out, why it appears (window narrower than 768px at page load, or a delivery/export render), that the decision is made once at page load, and how to get back to the full dashboard.
  • Cross-links it from Share your dashboard and Sharing charts, with a warning to copy links from a full-size window since a /minimal/ link opens minimal for everyone.

Behavior verified against the Lightdash frontend source (utils/isMobile.ts, MobileRoutes.tsx, components/Mobile/RedirectToResource.tsx, UnfurlService.ts).

mint broken-links reports only two pre-existing broken links in workspace-admin/sso/scim.mdx, untouched here.

…ull dashboard

Adds a section to Interacting with dashboards covering when the /minimal/
view appears (windows narrower than 768px at page load, and delivery/export
renders), what it strips out, and how to return to the full dashboard.
Cross-links it from the dashboard and chart sharing sections.
