Note

As for now, not all View components and Knowledge Model objects configured in YAML can be edited in the Visual Editor, however, the number of components will be steadily increased.

[1] View edit mode - What you see is what you get!

Empty Preview State

The empty state preview window for some View components is currently broken.

This has no effect on creating or editing your component, and the preview will display correctly once you have defined the component's data. No workaround is necessary.

Chart Auto Height

When using auto-height on the View section, the legend of a chart may overlap the axis.

Set a fixed height for the layout section or column.
