# Blueprints

Blueprints offer a scalable way to standardize monitoring views for internal teams or customer deployments. Instead of recreating dashboards from scratch, you can apply a predefined structure with widgets, layout preferences, and display settings.

Blueprints are available under the **Monitoring** section on the Qubitro homepage and are only accessible to Organizations on the Enterprise plan.

### How It Works

When you create a dashboard using a blueprint, it stays linked to the original layout. If you update the blueprint later, all dashboards created from it will also reflect those changes.

{% hint style="success" %}
Changes made to a blueprint automatically apply to all dashboards that use it.
{% endhint %}

{% @mermaid/diagram content="graph LR;
A\[Create or Update Blueprint] --> B\[Linked Dashboards Exist?];

B -- Yes --> C\[Dashboards Updated Automatically];
B -- No --> D\[Blueprint Saved for Future Use];

C --> E\[Dashboards Reflect Latest Layout];
D --> F\[Used During New Dashboard Creation];

%% Style Adjustments
style A fill:#d9d9d9,stroke:#000,color:#000;
style B fill:#f2f2f2,stroke:#000,color:#000;
style C fill:#e0e0e0,stroke:#000,color:#000;
style D fill:#e0e0e0,stroke:#000,color:#000;
style E fill:#f2f2f2,stroke:#000,color:#000;
style F fill:#f2f2f2,stroke:#000,color:#000;" %}

This ensures consistency across dashboards and saves time by eliminating the need to update each dashboard individually.
