Preparing your chart for publishing

Even though you finished working on a chart, there's still one thing you should do before publishing and sharing your chart – sorting out the metadata. You can learn more about metadata [here].

Publish chart

Publishing your chart is the first step toward sharing it with others.

  1. At the top of the screen, click Publish.
  2. Then, in the pop-up, confirm by clicking the Publish button.

Share or embed chart

You've just published your chart, but it's not visible on the web yet. To make it accessible, you need to share or embed it.

Sharing a chart

  1. At the top of the screen, click Publish.

    Note: Since your chart is already published, the pop-up will look slightly different from the one in the previous step.
  2. To share a direct link to your chart, click Copy Link (or select and copy the link from the field) and paste it into an email or message.
  3. To share your chart on social media, click the icon of the network you want to post it to.

Embedding a chart

  1. At the top of the screen, click Publish.
  2. Click the iFrame or SPA Parcel tab.
  3. Click Copy Embed Code.
  4. Paste the link into your blog or website.

Update chart

You can update the content of your chart, without affecting the embedded version of your chart. All the changes will be visible only to you, and when you decide to allow your audiences to view the latest version of the chart, you'll need to republish it.

Note: The published_with_changes icon on the project dashboard, or the blue dot in the top-right corner of the chart editor, indicates that your chart has unpublished changes. This helps you keep track of charts with updates that are not yet visible to your audience.

For your audience to see the latest version of your chart, follow these steps:

  1. At the top of the screen, click Publish.
  2. To confirm that you want to update the live version of your chart, click the Republish button.

Once you republish the chart, all changes will be visible to your audience, and you won't need to send or embed a new link.
