## **How to insert graphs or charts in your genially**

  

To insert a graph or chart in your genially:

  

1\.  Click on **Resources** in the left sidebar of the Editor and then on the **Graphs & Charts** section.

  

2\. Select the type of graph that best suits your purpose by clicking on it or dragging it to place it on the canvas.

  

A tab will open on the right of the Editor with two windows: **Data** and **Settings**, so that you can insert your data and configure the appearance of your graph.

You can access these settings at any time by clicking on the settings icon that appears just above your graph when it is selected.

  

## **How to insert data in the graph**

  

There are three ways to insert the data:

  
1\. Enter the data manually in the Data tab.

  
2\. Copy and paste the data over the editing area of the table in the Data tab.

  
3\. Copy and paste the data into the box at the bottom of the Data tab. 

  
**TIP:** Before pasting your data, delete the sample data to avoid confusion!

Bear in mind that not all graphs display data in the same way. If the data don’t display correctly, click on the cell in the top left corner to switch the values between columns and rows, as you see in the following image.
