To showcase the documentation improvements, let's focus on a specific example.
The graph chart is one of the 3 charts that helps you visualize links between groups or entities. In the chart documentation, we demonstrate how an individual row in your dataset maps to the visualization. We then go on to show how the shape of your data and the choices you made in Explore affect the generated SQL query:
