Like this (https://restpack.io/html2pdf) but specifically for your embeddable dashboards

Add a drilldown in the no-code builder
Drilldowns are super helpful for end users, so being able to add them within the no-code builder is really important - e.g. by opening a sub-embeddable via a modal.

Support for different timezones
Currently Embeddable uses UTC by default (e.g. when aggregating results by day / week / etc.). We plan to support supplying a timezone, per dashboard session, so each user can see the results in the timezone that makes sense for them. This will also involve making the caching layer timezone-aware.

Support for nested AND and OR logic in dataset filters
Currently dataset filters all use simple AND across each filter. It is, however, common that you might want to use OR instead, or a nesting thereof.

Manage user permissions
Be able to manage your user permissions within your team on Embeddable, for example limit who is able to publish a dashboard, who is able to push code to Embeddable. Also called RBAC (role-based access control).

Schedule Embeddable dashboard delivery
Enable users to schedule Embeddable delivery via email/Slack/Teams etc.

Return `total row count` from `loadData` to make pagination easier.
Cube supports setting total to true (here) in order to have it return the total row count (here). In Embeddable we set this to false, as setting it to true can be very detrimental to query performance. A workaround, for pagination in Embeddable, is to use a second loadData request to request the row count. This roadmap ticket is about exposing the option to set total to true and return it in the loadData response, so that you don't need a separate loadData request.

Component thumbnails
When you click "Add component" in the builder it currently shows a list of component names. We'd like to have it show preview thumbnails so you can see what the components look like. This idea is not related to the end-user experience. It relates to how the components are shown in the "Add component" modal in the builder.

Define security contexts directly in builder
Currently you define security contexts for the builder by adding them to security-contexts.sc.yml. This ticket is the ability to define additional security contexts directly in the builder, via the UI.

Native tooltip functionality for charts
It would be cool to have the ability to add a tooltip to the charts, so that you could give extra context to end-users, without needing to use the 'description' input and taking up dashboard space.

A Duplicate button on dashboard widgets
Wouldn't it be amazing if there was a copy/clone button close to the Edit and Delete ones 🥺

End users can download their dashboard as a PDF

Show/hide parts of a dashboard based on a variable
Sometimes a part of a dashboard only makes sense to show once the user has selected an input.

Containers for components
To make building dashboards in the no-code builder easier, we'll introduce the concept of 'containers' to layout components on the canvas
