Dashboard panels have an *Explore underlying data* action that navigates you to *Discover*,
9+
where you can narrow your documents to the ones you'll most likely use in a visualization.
10+
This action is available for visualizations backed by a single index pattern.
11+
12+
You can access *Explore underlying data* in two ways: from the panel context
13+
menu or from the menu that appears when you interact with the chart.

The *Explore underlying data* action in the panel menu navigates you to Discover,
20+
carrying over the index pattern, filters, query, and time range for the visualization.

Initiating *Explore underlying data* from the chart also navigates to Discover,
30+
carrying over the current context for the visualization. In addition, this action
31+
applies the filters and time range created by the events that triggered the action.
