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.
