To edit the visual title or description:

1. Select the visual in the Visual Gallery or on a dashboard.

2. If you selected the visual on a dashboard, select Edit Visual on the visual drop-down menu to access the sidebar menu for the visual. If you selected the visual from the Visual Gallery, skip this step.

3. Select the information option () on the sidebar menu for the visual. The Visual Information sidebar opens.

   

   The data source and visual type are shown on the sidebar, although you cannot change them. If you are editing the visual from the dashboard, the visual name also cannot be changed.

   If you are editing the visual from the Visual Gallery, you cannot change the description of the visual. However, you can change the description if you edit the visual from a dashboard. The image above was captured while editing the visual from a dashboard.
