 #### Making changes to a provisioned dashboard
+It's possible to make changes to a provisioned dashboard in the Grafana UI. However, it is not possible to automatically save the changes back to the provisioning source.
+If `allowUiUpdates` is set to `true` and you make changes to a provisioned dashboard, you can `Save` the dashboard then changes will be persisted to the Grafana database.
 
-It's possible to make changes to a provisioned dashboard in Grafana UI, but there's currently no possibility to automatically save the changes back to the provisioning source.
-However, if you make changes to a provisioned dashboard you can `Save` the dashboard which will bring up a *Cannot save provisioned dashboard* dialog like seen in the screenshot below.
-Here available options will let you `Copy JSON to Clipboard` and/or `Save JSON to file` which can help you synchronize your dashboard changes back to the provisioning source.
+> **Note.** 
+> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and then later updated from the source, the dashboard stored in the database will always be overwritten. The `version` property in the JSON file will not affect this, even if it is lower than the existing dashboard.
+> 
+> If a provisioned dashboard is saved from the UI and the source is removed, the dashboard stored in the database will be deleted unless the configuration option `disableDeletion` is set to true.
 
-Note: The JSON shown in input field and when using `Copy JSON to Clipboard` and/or `Save JSON to file` will have the `id` field automatically removed to aid the provisioning workflow.
+If `allowUiUpdates` is configured to `false`, you are not able to make changes to a provisioned dashboard. When you click `Save`, Grafana brings up a *Cannot save provisioned dashboard* dialog. The screenshot below illustrates this behavior.
 
+Grafana offers options to export the JSON definition of a dashboard. Either `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` can help you synchronize your dashboard changes back to the provisioning source.
+
+Note: The JSON definition in the input field when using `Copy JSON to Clipboard` or `Save JSON to file` will have the `id` field automatically removed to aid the provisioning workflow.
