Grafana Data Visualization Update: Panel Time Settings & Time Comparison in 12.3

The new panel time settings drawer gives you greater control over time ranges and shifts at the panel level without editing the dashboard.

The time comparison feature, in particular, was a request from the community, and allows you to easily perform time-based (for example, month-over-month) comparative analyses in a single view. This eliminates the need to duplicate panels or dashboards to perform trend tracking and performance benchmarking.

To access the panel time settings drawer, click the panel menu and select the Time settings option.

As of Nov 19, 2025, this feature is in public preview in all editions of Grafana (Grafana OSS, Grafana Cloud, and Grafana Enterprise).
