When an owner modifies a dashboard, the dashboard is not automatically updated for recipients. The owner of the dashboard must share the updated dashboard again and the dashboard recipients must refresh their dashboard before any of the changes are applied.

As a dashboard owner, you can stop sharing a dashboard at any time by removing all the recipients from the Share dialog box.
