@ananzh The following items were not tested.

1. Function Test Suite 2: Copy data without extra data: No easy way to test copying data to clipboard in cypress

3. Function Test Suite 6: Saved Search Embeddable in Dashboard (When load a saved search in dashboard, sort should be loaded properly Issue: [BUG][Discover] Sort from search embeddable is not loaded in Dashboard #5933) : Issue still open hence couldn't be tested
