Previously, when you switched between chart types in Explore, the system would silently drop fields and reset settings. You couldn’t predict what would survive, which made trying different chart types feel risky. Now Holistics keeps a memory of everything you’ve selected while you explore, so you can swap chart types freely and switch back without rebuilding anything.
Here’s what happens when you switch:
- Fields and settings auto-map to the new chart. Fields that don’t fit (e.g. fewer axis slots on the target chart) are held in memory, not discarded.
- Switching back restores exactly what you left, including any fields that were held aside while you were on other charts.
- Edits carry forward globally. Any change you make on one chart becomes the configuration that applies to the next switch.
This builds on two earlier Explore improvements: auto-mapping fills chart slots for you, and chart suggestions picks the right chart for your data. With chart switching now non-destructive, trying a different chart type is no longer a decision you have to commit to.
Give it a spin next time you’re exploring.
