about is related to the unob interaction updates as you may remember this new feature was released a few months ago and it's still in preview that means that we have monthly updates and one of the updates that I really like is related to the classic layout so let me show you what I'm talking about here and I'm pretty sure you're going to love this as well so if you select this visual which is a table a matrix so now you can see the option here to add data to your visual you also have the option here to add or remove visuals to format your visuals so it's right there and some people don't like this okay and for those who don't like this approach or this layout we have the option to have a classic layout what does it mean let me show you let's go over the gear icon right here if we click on this option this new window pops up and now under report settings pain switcher now you have the option here it says always show the build and visual menu in the pain switcher let's select this option and see what happens now we can see the classic layout the layout that we used to have in the past before the unob interaction was live so let me show you what I'm talking about here if you select the visual again now you don't have the option here anymore so the option is right here if you want to add visuals if you want to add data so let's say that you want to add here a different visual so we can do that real quick so now if we want to add data we can do this quickly we go over here and as you can see this is very similar to the classic layout that's why they call it classic layout so let's go over here profit boom and then if you want you can also add dates as part of the xais now as you can see you have the previous layout you can play with the previous layout and start adding data to your visuals like I said before some people like this classic view this a classic layout but others don't like it it's up to you but now you have the option as part of the December 2023 PBI update now let's move on and talk about the new formatting settings for bar and column charts okay so this is a cool one as well so let me show you what I'm talking about here contrl C real quick contrl V Let's duplicate this visual and then let's start making the changes that I'm talking about we have here the classic layout and then if we select the visual let's go over format let's hit column so now you have the option to add transparency here how about 40% check this out it looks a little bit different so the main goal here is to start playing with your visuals and make it more attractive visually so now you can also add a border here check this out I like black here and then ercy I don't touch this and then for width so how about three and you can keep playing with this feature as well so let's keep moving here layout so for layout I want to see here space between series I would give this two or three check this out three this looks so much better you can also change the order here reverse order check this out you can do that see it's up to you it's it's up to the story that you want to share with your end users right so let's leave it as is for now and then you can also solve our value see right there it changes like I said before this is up to you I'm going to turn this off for now but now you can see the difference right and here for example for Kera we can also change the color of the labels so let's do that real quick so let's go over data labels and here Cara for Value so let's s here just black so in that way you can see the contrast better there
