·        When multiple charts are plotted in a single dashboard or canvas, you can use the Expand View option on any individual chart.

·       Expand View enlarges the selected chart to occupy the full view, helping focus on that chart for detailed analysis.

·        Other charts remain in the background and are temporarily hidden while the expanded chart is in focus.

B.   After Expanding a Specific Chart 

·        Only the selected chart enters the expanded mode.

·        Any interactions (like filters, tooltips, or drill-downs) are limited to the expanded chart during this mode.

·        Once you exit the Expand View, you're returned to the multi-chart layout, and all charts are visible again
