Changes

This PR documents the new "Ignore dashboard filters" feature for dashboard tiles, added in PostHog/posthog#72720.

What's documented

  • How to enable the "Ignore dashboard filters" switch via the tile's menu → Override tile filters modal
  • What the feature does: the tile ignores all dashboard-level filters (date range, properties, breakdown, interval, test account filter)
  • What still applies: the tile's own filter overrides and dashboard variables
  • The visual indicator shown on tiles that ignore dashboard filters

Why this update is needed

The PR author noted "No docs cover tile overrides today; nothing to update" but the dashboards documentation already has a "Filter precedence: dashboard vs. tile level" section that explains how tile filters interact with dashboard filters. This new feature extends that functionality and belongs in the same section.


This PR was created by the Inkeep Content Writer agent, which is maintained by the Docs and Wizard team. Please reach out on Slack for help if needed.

Adds documentation for the new per-tile "Ignore dashboard filters"
switch introduced in PostHog/posthog#72720. Covers how to enable it,
what it affects, and the visual indicator shown on excluded tiles.
