Users have several ways to access Discover Lite. Based on the user's profile, launching Discover will automatically take them to the Discover Lite tool.
Users can also access Discover Lite from visuals in a presentation, or from visuals using a link. This flexibility in accessing Discover Lite is designed to help users perform data analysis on-the-fly.
Tip: Once you have accessed Discover Lite, you can use the Chatbot and other AI intelligence features to create and analyze your Discoveries based on your own natural language prompts. For more information about this functionality, see Natural Language Interfaces.
