# Infographics

**Studio → Infographics.** Describe what the visual should show and where the numbers
come from, and get a branded result.

## Create an infographic

The composer takes a brief (what the visual should show, who it is for, what it should
emphasize) and you attach the data.

The figures can come from a knowledge base in your workspace, so the infographic is
built from data you already maintain rather than from numbers pasted into a prompt.

## Output formats

Choose the format when you create the infographic:

| | |
|---|---|
| **A finished image** | A .png, ready to post. Nothing to edit: regenerate rather than adjust. |
| **An editable design** | Opens in the design editor with editable text and live charts. |

Choose the editable design if anyone will want to change a label, a color or a number
without regenerating. Choose the image if it is going straight out.

Both land in your media library.

## Keep it up to date

**Keep this up to date** schedules a refresh. Each run re-reads the attached data source
and adds a **new version** with the current figures. The brief, the size and the style
stay as they were.

Use it for anything recurring, such as a monthly metrics graphic or a quarterly summary.
Set it once and the visual maintains itself, with every past version retained.

If the infographic has no data source attached, a refresh re-runs the same brief with
the same numbers, which is rarely useful. Attach the source when you create it.

## Sizes and export

Set the dimensions when you create the infographic. It is rendered to the size you asked
for, and content that would run past the bottom is fitted rather than cut off.

Both output formats export as an image; the editable one also exports as an HTML file
that keeps the charts live. Renaming handles both files and adds the extension for you.

## Who can see an infographic

**Who can see this** on any infographic. Empty means anyone in the workspace; adding
people and roles restricts it to them. See [sharing and
