Navigate the report workspace
Find report, data, SQL, chat, filters, inspection, editing, presentation, and keyboard controls.
The report workspace brings pages, data, conversations, filters, and inspection into one place. Use the header to choose the workspace area and the surrounding panels to focus an edit or explore a result.
The controls available to you depend on your report role and the selected page or visual.
Find the main areas
| Area | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Report | View and edit native or HTML pages. |
| Data | Manage report connections and inspect or edit supported connection models. |
| SQL | Run and save read-only queries in SQL Playground. |
| Page list | Select, add, edit, duplicate, delete, or manage the visibility of pages. |
| Data Chat | Ask questions and build or refine the report. |
| Assistant / Adjust / Data inspector | Work with selected native or HTML visual context. |
| Filters | Inspect and edit the applicable filter scopes. |
A selected connection controls current data browsing. Existing visuals and HTML datasets retain their own saved connection.
Use the report toolbar
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Data connection control | Open report source setup and connection management. |
| Upload File | Import a CSV as a queryable connection. |
| Manage Access | Inspect or manage report sharing according to your role. |
| Report files | Open the shared reference-file and image library. |
| Instructions | Edit lasting report-level AI instructions. |
| Data Chat | Open or restore the report conversation workspace. |
| Native visual buttons | Create a line graph, bar graph, bar chart, card, table, pie chart, or scatter plot on a native page. |
| Rectangle / Text Box | Add native layout objects. |
| Undo / Redo | Restore supported workspace edits. |
| Preview page | Review the page in its viewing presentation. |
HTML pages replace native creation controls with their relevant Source, Refresh live data, and Page history controls. Chat can create their datasets and visuals.
Select and inspect objects
Click a visual to inspect it. Native canvas selection supports multiple objects, including modifier-key selection and selection gestures. Use the selected set in a chat request when you want a coordinated edit.
The inspector keeps presentation and data controls close to the selected object. Adjust exposes supported properties and SQL; HTML visuals use their dataset selector and query editor. Data shows the relevant data context.
Inspect every selected visual. Align their formatting and titles with
the report instructions, then explain which objects were updated.
Selection at submission time accompanies the message. Clicking a different object afterward does not change the targets of an active run.
Arrange the workspace
Expand, collapse, or resize available panels to give the page or conversation more room. Minimize Data Chat when you want to inspect the report, then restore it without starting a new conversation.
The page list separates native and HTML pages. The conversation list organizes named chats associated with the report.
Moving a panel changes your working view, not the data definition. Native canvas movement and resizing change report objects and can be saved.
Use editing and presentation modes
On native pages, Lock view mode prevents accidental layout editing; Unlock edit mode restores editing controls where your role permits them.
Preview page opens the presentation experience. Use the header page selector to navigate and Edit to return when available.
A locked view does not grant or revoke access. A person with View permission does not gain editing rights by changing a layout preference. See Sharing and access.
Keyboard controls
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter in the chat composer | Send an available draft. |
| Shift+Enter in the composer | Insert a line break. |
| Ctrl/Cmd+Z in the workspace | Undo an available workspace edit. |
| Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z or Ctrl/Cmd+Y | Redo an available workspace edit. |
Text editors can handle their own editing shortcuts. Use the visible controls when focus is in a source or query editor and you intend to restore a report-level change.
Understand disabled controls
A control may be unavailable because you lack editing access, no page or connection is selected, a save is in progress, or the action does not apply to that page type.
Invisible pages remain visible to editors but can only have their visibility changed by report Owners or Admins. Organization and team roles do not substitute for report permissions.
Continue with Reports and pages, Native visuals, or HTML pages.
