You can:

- Create custom BigPicture charts and dashboards.
- Report on your BigPicture OKRs directly in a dashboard.
- Share dashboards externally with password-protected links, in seconds.
- Combine and integrate different data sources, instances, and products into the same dashboard, creating a single reference point for their team.

- Leverage all of Dashboard Hub’s powerful features:
  - Advanced restrictions/permissions on charts and dashboards

## What is the most important feature everyone should know about this integration?

Besides improving visualization and simplifying the reporting of BigPicture data, Dashboard Hub becomes the central data hub where teams align and coordinate, saving teams from jumping through different tools to fetch data.

This is achieved by leveraging Dashboard Hub product integrations and creating unified and centralized dashboards where teams can check all their relevant data across products at a glance.
