Check out this quick video overview
on how to add, import and edit charts.

Select the chart you want to edit.

Open the Edit Chart pane: double-click the chart, or select the chart and click"Edit Chart" in the top toolbar.

A four-column bar chart appears on a red design canvas in the Venngage Editor. The user clicks on the chart to select it, then clicks Edit Chart in the top toolbar. The Chart Menu pane opens on the right-hand side of the screen, shifting the design canvas slightly to the left.
 
Add chart data by typing data into a cell in the chart spreadsheet under the "Data" tab.

Copy data from an external spreadsheet like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel and use CTRL+V or CMD+V to paste values into the chart spreadsheet.

Under this tab, icons of available chart types are visible. The bottom part of the tab displays a spreadsheet with data columns and rows. Each row has a color icon to indicate the color of the corresponding part of the chart. In the top right-hand corner of the Chart Menu Cancel and Save buttons appear.

 

Edit data in the same way; open the Chart Menu pane and modify the values in any cell in the chart spreadsheet.

A four-column bar chart appears on a red design canvas in the Venngage Editor. The Chart menu panel is open on the right-hand side of the canvas. The user clicks into one of the cells in the spreadsheet and changes the number, which is reflected in the first bar of the chart on the design canvas. The user repeats this in the second cell of the spreadsheet and the number and length of the second bar in the chart changes.

 

The data in your chart will preview automatically on the design canvas but won't save unless you click the "Save" button at the top of the panel.

Click Save to save the changes to your chart.

Select Cancel to exit the Edit Chart pane without saving the changes.
