+> You can use this parameter only when creating a new dashboard. If you specify `Tags` when updating an existing dashboard, the tag updates are ignored. To add or update tags on an existing dashboard, use [TagResource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_TagResource.html) . To remove tags, use [UntagResource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_UntagResource.html) .
