| If a user with Edit or Manage access deletes a panel from a shared dashboard, a confirmation dialog warns them that the change may impact other users who use the dashboard. | ||

This note is about deleting a panel, but it's inserted between the access-rights paragraph and the "Dashboard sharing options" heading, so it interrupts a section that's about something else. It also duplicates the note already added in panels/index.md. Suggest moving this or replacing it with a short cross-link to the panels doc instead.

Double check this button label. The rest of the doc calls this a "template variable," but this step says "Delete Filter." If that's the actual UI label, consider a brief clarifying note so readers don't think these are two different things.
