@monicasarbu I'm pretty sure that some of these details are wrong (especially around what to do with the 5.5 dashboards to get them into 5.6). I assume this info is for end-users, so we wouldn't expect them to use devtools.

Anyhow, this is my understanding of the upgrade process based on our discussion, but I think there's some missing content here.

However, if you have Beats 5.5 dashboards and plan to use them with Kibana 6.0,
you need to import them into 5.6 now by using the Kibana API, or they will no
longer work in Kibana 6.0.

I don't think this is true. Kibana automatically upgrades any dashboards that work in 5.6, so as long as the user follows the normal upgrade sequence, there shouldn't be any need for extra instructions.
