# 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.

**Tip:**\
