Manual Mode and How Canvases Synch

By default a canvas in Present matches its corresponding canvas in Visualize. However, when you use Manual Mode in Present, some of the adjustments you make cause the canvas to become out of synch with the corresponding canvas in Visualize.

See What Are Auto and Manual Modes in Present?.

In Present, a canvas that is out of synch with Visualize displays an asterisk that you can click to reset the Present canvas to match the Visualize canvas.

Your Present canvas become out of synch when you're working in Manual Mode and:

• You change filter values in the Present canvas.
• You edit a visualization on a canvas that is already out of synch with its base canvas in Visualize.

Use the information in these tables to understand how the canvases in Visualize and canvases in Present synch, and how Auto Mode or Manual Mode determines how canvases synch.
