   Important:

   If the data visualization shows data from a protected scope that is not supported in Query Generation and AI Data Explorer, there is no Explore with AI icon. For more information, see [Enabling access to protected scope applications for AI Data Explorer and Query Generation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/KX8pB2qZXRSxQV9Oi~mx8g "AI Data Explorer and Query Generation require additional security configuration to access tables in protected scopes such as Human Resources or Employee Profile scopes.").
7. From the Explore options, select Add to exploration.

   You are asked whether you want to add the data visualization or list to a new exploration or an existing one that is open.
8. Select Add to an open exploration.
9. Select from the explorations that are open in other tabs and choose Add.

## Result

The exploration opens in a dialog in the tab that you are in. The list or data
visualization is added to the end of the exploration. You can add more lists or data
visualizations. When you select Add to exploration, the list
or data visualization is automatically added to the open exploration.
