# Edit charts

> Refine saved charts by changing titles, descriptions, chart types, and display settings.

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.
