<!-- Greeting --> Hi @adolfotcar! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> This behavior is expected in Superset 5.0.0: when importing a dashboard via the UI, only the dashboard itself is overwritten if it already exists—charts and datasets referenced by the dashboard are always imported with `overwrite=False`, so any existing charts or datasets are left unchanged, even if their definitions differ from those in the import bundle. This is hardcoded in the backend import logic and applies regardless of the dashboard overwrite flag. As a result, restoring a dashboard to a previous state using the UI will not revert associated charts or datasets to their exported versions if they already exist in the target environment. If you need to fully restore dashboards, charts, and datasets, you must delete the existing charts and datasets before import, or use the API (which supports an explicit `overwrite` flag for charts) or CLI tools for more granular control. This limitation is documented in the code and has been discussed in the community, but there is currently no UI option to overwrite charts and datasets during dashboard import [(source)](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/dashboard/importers/v1/__init__.py) [(source)](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/33659). Workarounds include manually deleting or renaming existing charts/datasets before import, or using automation/scripts to handle the process. If you need to regenerate chart query contexts after import, you must open and save each chart in the UI or automate this step [(source)](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/33615). <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
