Adding emphasis

You can add emphasis to your insights to make them clear and engaging for your audience.

You do this by adding effects to your snapshots to highlight certain data points, and at the same time suppressing information that might be irrelevant. In this way, the effects help you reduce information overload for your audience so that they can focus on the key insights you want to present to them.

In this section you find topics that will help you emphasize your insights, for instance how to apply various effects to a snapshot and how to highlight data points in a snapshot.

Another way to emphasize an insight and to reduce information overflow is to hide information. For example you could change a snapshot's appearance so that elements such as titles, axes, data point lines, footnotes, legends, and so on, are hidden.
