# Edit a data visualization in the library

# Edit a data visualization in the library {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
After you create a data visualization, you can return to it and edit the data visualization's appearance and other aspects.

## Before you begin

Role required: You can edit any data visualization you own unless it is a shared visualization, in the library. If the data visualization is in the library and you own it, you need the itil, report_user, or viz_creator role to
edit it. You can edit any data visualization with the viz_admin role or higher.

If you don't have edit rights to a visualization that has been shared with you, you can still edit the visualization to explore the data. You cannot, however, save those changes to the visualization.

If the visualization is in the library and you don't own it, you need the viz_admin or admin role to save edits to it. Alternatively, the owner can share it with you with edit rights. When you save your edit, you can save the
visualization in the library, which affects all dashboards that show the visualization. Alternatively, you can save a local copy. You cannot save changes to data visualizations in the library if you don't have edit rights or you
don't have the viz_admin or admin role.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllPlatform AnalyticsLibraryData Visualizations, or open an in-line dashboard and select Edit. {#edit-dv-ac-center__ph_yvn_xvt_4tb}
2. Select the visualization that you want to edit.
3. In the Visualization Designer, select the Configuration icon (![Configuration icon]()) to edit header, data, and presentation options.  
   For details about editing the configuration of a data visualization, look up the visualization type under [Creating data visualizations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/PNjV5oTFTHVW7OlPN0xJpA "See how to create data visualizations using different data sources.").
4. Select the information icon (![Info icon]()) to edit name, description, certification, and requester information.
