Edit charts

Use the chart editor when a saved chart is close to what you want but still needs refinement.

​

Open the editor

You can reach the chart editor from:

• The Charts page for a saved chart.
• A chart created during chat before you add it to a dashboard.

​

What you can change

In the chart editor, you can update:

• The chart title.
• The chart description.
• The chart type.
• Display settings such as axes, legend, grid, and data presentation.
• The chart configuration based on the data available in the result.

​

Edit with AI

The chart editor includes an Ask AI bar at the top of the screen. Describe the change you want in plain language instead of clicking through every setting. Examples of instructions that work well:

• Change this to a stacked bar chart.
• Sort bars from highest to lowest.
• Show only the top 10 categories.
• Use a shorter title that mentions quarterly revenue.

Vizkraft suggests quick prompts based on the current chart type. After AI applies a change, review the preview before saving.

​

Refresh charts backed by live data

If a chart is tied to a live data source, Vizkraft can refresh the chart data instead of relying only on the original preview. This is useful when:

• The underlying data changes often.
• You want the dashboard version of the chart to stay current.
• You are checking whether a saved chart still reflects the latest numbers.

​

Save carefully

Before saving:

• Confirm the title still matches the metric and breakdown.
• Make sure the chart type supports the story you want to tell.
• Check that the description adds useful context for future viewers.

​

After editing

Once saved, the updated chart can be:

• Reused in the chart library.
• Added to a dashboard.
• Opened again later for additional changes.
