Charts and visualisations
Once an analysis is configured, Text Explorer renders the results as an interactive chart in the centre pane. You can edit individual charts, apply colour themes across the whole project, save charts to the output library, and export selected outputs.
Chart toolbar
Section titled “Chart toolbar”Each chart has a toolbar with the following actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Save | Save the current chart configuration to the output library |
| View fullscreen | Expand the chart to fill the screen |
| Comments | Add or view comments on the chart (not available on Confusion Matrix charts) |
| Export | Export this individual chart |
| More (⋮) | Opens a menu with additional options — see below |
More menu
Section titled “More menu”The ⋮ menu on each chart provides:
- Chart Editor — Open the chart editor to adjust properties such as title, colours, labels, and legend
- Chart Notes — Add an annotation to the chart to provide context, such as explaining an unusual result
- Remove Words — Exclude specific terms from the chart on the fly (available on unsaved charts only; not available for Text Drivers)
- Delete — Remove the chart from the project
Draggable labels
Section titled “Draggable labels”For chart types that support plot labels (such as Dumbbell and Lollipop), a Draggable Labels toggle appears in the toolbar on unsaved charts. Turn it on to manually reposition individual labels to avoid overlaps.
Applying a theme
Section titled “Applying a theme”Themes apply a consistent colour palette to all charts in the project simultaneously.
- Click Theme in the Workbench toolbar.
- Browse the available themes and click one to preview it across your charts.
- Click Apply to confirm.
You can apply a different theme at any time — it will not affect chart configurations or saved outputs until you explicitly save again.
Saving charts to the output library
Section titled “Saving charts to the output library”The output library (visible in the Outputs tab in the left pane) stores all charts you have saved. Saved charts are available for export, sharing, and display in the Text Auto Report.
- Configure the chart to your satisfaction.
- Click Save in the chart toolbar (or in the configuration panel).
- The chart appears in the Outputs tab, organised by analysis type.
You can save multiple chart variants from the same analysis type — for example, a combined Sentiment chart and a split-by-region Sentiment chart.
Exporting charts
Section titled “Exporting charts”You can export charts from the output library as a batch, or export individual charts directly.
Batch export
Section titled “Batch export”- Click Export in the Workbench toolbar.
- Select the charts you want to include using the checkboxes.
- Choose an export format and click Export. The file downloads to your browser’s default download location.
Individual chart export
Section titled “Individual chart export”- Select the chart in the centre pane or the Outputs tab.
- Click the Export icon in the chart toolbar.
- Choose a format and click Download.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Will my chart edits be lost if I close the browser?
Unsaved changes will be lost. Always click Save after editing a chart to write it to the output library. The Workbench does not autosave chart edits.
Can I export all charts at once?
Yes — use the batch export option. Click Export in the toolbar, then Select all to include every saved chart in the export.
