The following article covers formatting options available at the visualization level. These functions are located in the Component and Slide ribbons.

Access the following from the Component ribbon. To show the functions in the Component ribbon, click on a visualization:

Click Show Panel to display a visual within its own panel bounding box.

Enabling the Show Panel function also enables Title and Breadcrumbs by default. These can be disabled by click the relevant button.

Open the Panel menu and click More Panel Options to open the Panel Settings dialog, where additional settings can be enabled or disabled. Fonts can also be changed, and a custom title added if required.

Panels can also be enabled and disabled from the Slide ribbon, and Panel Settings can be accessed by right clicking on the visual to open its context menu. For more information, see Show Panels.
