An author has a story point showing a dashboard filtered to the North region. They change the filter on that same captured dashboard to the South region and want the existing story point to now reflect South, while leaving the total number of story points unchanged. Which action on the story toolbar records the new state onto the current point?

  • AClick the blank New Blank Point button, which inserts an empty point ready to receive the South state
  • BClick Save as New Point, which keeps the original North capture and appends a separate South point
  • CClick Duplicate, which copies the current point so the original keeps North and the copy can hold South
  • DClick Update, which overwrites the current point's captured state with the South filter selection Correct
The Update button overwrites the active story point with the dashboard's current captured state, leaving the total number of story points unchanged. A story point stores a captured snapshot of the sheet's state; Update rebinds that snapshot to whatever is currently displayed, replacing the previous capture in place rather than creating a new point as Save as New Point or Duplicate would.

Why A is wrong: A blank point creates a fresh empty placeholder and does not capture the current dashboard state onto the existing point, so it both adds a point and fails to update the current one.

Why B is wrong: Save as New Point adds another point rather than overwriting the current one, so the point count would rise and the existing point would still show North.

Why C is wrong: Duplicate produces an extra point, increasing the count, and the original capture is unaffected, so it does not update the existing point in place.

Why D is correct: Update overwrites the active story point with the dashboard's current state, so the existing point switches to South without adding or removing any points.
