+## Exporting a dashboard for use with Grafana Community Platform or other Grafana Instances
+
+Following the steps in [Editing dashboards](#editing-dashboards), we need to make one export where the toggle "Export for sharing manually" is toggled. Once this is saved, run the following from `config/observability` . 
+
+```bash
+universal-dashboard.sh <"Export for sharing manually" JSON file> /path/to/<JSON file>
+```
+
+Now, you have a universal dashboard file you can use to import into your Grafana instance, but also use for uploading to the Grafana Community Platform.
