# `LibraryPanelKind`

A library panel is a reusable panel that you can use in any dashboard.
When you make a change to a library panel, that change propagates to all instances of where the panel is used.
Library panels streamline reuse of panels across multiple dashboards.

Following is the default library panel element JSON:

```json
      "kind": "LibraryPanel",
      "spec": {
        "id": 0,
        "libraryPanel": {
          name: "",
          uid: "",
        }
        "title": ""
      }
```

The `LibraryPanelKind` consists of:

- kind: "LibraryPanel"
- spec: [LibraryPanelKindSpec](#librarypanelkindspec)
  - libraryPanel: [LibraryPanelRef](#librarypanelref)

## `LibraryPanelKindSpec`

The following table explains the usage of the library panel element JSON fields:

| Name         | Usage                                            |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| id           | Panel ID for the library panel in the dashboard. |
| libraryPanel | [`LibraryPanelRef`](#librarypanelref)            |
