# Import dashboards
You can import preconfigured dashboards into your Grafana instance or Cloud stack using the UI or the [HTTP API](ref:http-api).
## Import a dashboard
To import a dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Click **Dashboards** in the primary menu.
1. Click **New** and select **Import** in the drop-down menu.
1. Perform one of the following steps:
- Upload a dashboard JSON file.
- Paste a [Grafana.com dashboard](#discover-dashboards-on-grafanacom) URL or ID into the field provided.
- Paste dashboard JSON text directly into the text area.
1. (Optional) Change the dashboard name, folder, or UID, and specify metric prefixes, if the dashboard uses any.
1. Select a data source, if required.
1. Click **Import**.
## Discover dashboards on grafana.com
The [Dashboards page](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/) on grafana.com provides you with dashboards for common server applications. Browse our library of official and community-built dashboards and import them to quickly get up and running.
{{< figure src="/media/docs/grafana/dashboards/screenshot-gcom-dashboards.png" alt="Preconfigured dashboards on grafana.com">}}
You can also add to this library by exporting one of your own dashboards. For more information, refer to [Share dashboards and panels](ref:share-dashboards-and-panels).
## More examples
Your Grafana Cloud stack comes with several default dashboards in the **Grafana Cloud** folder in **Dashboards**. If you're running your own installation of Grafana, you can find more example dashboards in the `public/dashboards/` directory.
