In Kibana 3 users can change configurations in the dashboard. There are some common configurations that we should allow dashboard consumers to change without going into the Lens.

Why allowing some configuration from the dashboard is important:
-If users don’t have edit privileges they can’t get into the editor from the dashboard. Changing the intervals might be required for their analysis
-Some configurations might be tied to what is being analyzed and can change frequently
-Going into the editor saving and coming back to the dashboard is long to see the data from a different perspective

Types of configuration to consider allowing changing in Lens when on the dashboard
-Time intervals
-Colors
-Hide legend/move
-Table ability to change the sorting order of a column

This issue is going to need a technical investigation of what's possible so that we can present tradeoffs.

As discussed offline we decided to allow editing on dashboards for some parts of the Lens config, but it won't be persistable to keep a clear separation between saved changes (done in the editor) and ad-hoc changes on the dashboard.

This simplifies the user experience because the line between saved changes and ad-hoc changes isn't blurred as it is right now with uiState. It also simplifies the technical implementation because the embeddable doesn't have to pass up state to the container - everything will be handled within the Lens embeddable which requires some changes to the embeddable logic (basically part of what the editor frame is doing).

@AlonaNadler @timductive is this a presentation team issue now? Should we be adding some of the requirements for this from the lens side? I have thoughts about what a "quick edit" could be....

if there's an issue for this in presentation we can maybe close this one and track the work there
