### **💡 What changed?**

Previously, clicking a field only added it to Tables. Now, you can click to add fields to **any visualization type.**

### 🧠 The logic

The system maps your field to the best slot based on the Field Type (Dimension vs. Measure) and the Chart Type.

- **Auto-Fill:** If slots are empty, clicking a field fills them automatically.
- **Quick Swap:** If your chart is full, clicking a new field **instantly replaces** the existing one.

Both click-to-add and drag-and-drop are fully supported, so you can work whichever way feels most natural to you.

### **🔭The Vision**

This update is more than just a shortcut; it is a foundational step toward a cleaner **Explore** experience. Our goal is to move toward an Explore interface where the **Viz Settings** panel can remain collapsed by default, allowing you to focus purely on your data and the visualization.
