Common Issues & Solutions
Export fails or creates blank files: Wait for the chart to fully load before exporting. Try refreshing the page and ensure all data is properly loaded.
Shared links not working: Check that sharing is enabled and the link permissions are set correctly. Regenerate the link if necessary.
Embedded charts not displaying: Ensure the embed code is complete and the target website supports iframe embeds. Test in different browsers.
Large file sizes: Use SVG for web graphics, compress images, or reduce chart complexity to decrease file size.
