When should I switch to manual editing?

While AI accelerates analytics creation, there are times when manual editing is the best choice:

• Fine-tuning visualizations: If you need to adjust chart types, formatting, or layout beyond what the AI suggests.

• Complex business logic: When your analysis requires custom calculations, filters, or data transformations not captured by a simple prompt.

• Full control over data and presentation: For pixel-perfect dashboards, branded layouts, or advanced interactivity.

• Editing existing charts: The AI cannot directly modify chart configurations in dashboards—use manual editing for these changes.

• Review and compliance: When you need to validate, audit, or document every step of your analytics process.
