The drag-and-drop visualization wizard is an experimental feature in OpenSearch 2.3. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of the drag-and-drop wizard in a production environment. For updates on the progress of drag and drop, or if you want to leave feedback that could help improve the feature, see the Drag and drop git issue. {: .warning}
Drag-and-drop wizard
You can use the drag-and-drop visualization wizard in OpenSearch Dashboards to create your data visualizations easily with just a few clicks or a single mouse gesture.
The drag-and-drop visualization wizard:
- Gives you an immediate view of your data without the need to preselect the visualization output.
- Gives you the flexibility to change visualization types and index patterns quickly.
- Gives you the ability to easily navigate between multiple screens.
Try out the wizard
You can try out the wizard locally or in the OpenSearch playground.
Try the wizard in OpenSearch playground
If you'd like to try out the wizard without installing OpenSearch locally, you can do so in the OpenSearch Dashboards playground. The feature is enabled in the playground by default.
