When a report is embedded on a dashboard, the filters, views and groupings are hidden, and the chevrons must be clicked to expand the menu. Users do not see this on the default dashboard view and don't know that they have to click the chevrons either, so is just poor UI. I suggest moving the filters, views and groupings next to Export.
I searched and found this related discussion, but the link doesn't work: https://one.workfront.com/s/question/0D54X00006oNcbgSAC/reports-on-a-dashboard-don't-show-the-filter...
I also searched similar ideas and found these two, which I have upvoted and think they could be combined if the work is being planned.
