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](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/2280).

# 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](https://playground.opensearch.org/app/home#/).
|
||
|
||
### 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](https://playground.opensearch.org/app/wizard). The feature is enabled in the playground by default.
|
||
|
||
### Try the wizard locally
|
||
|
||
To enable the drag-and-drop wizard in your local installation, add the following flag to the `opensearch_dashboards.yml` file:
|
||
|
||
```yml
|
||
wizard.enabled: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then confirm that the feature is enabled in OpenSearch Dashboards:
|
||
|
||
1. To open OpenSearch Dashboards:
|
||
- If you're not running the security plugin, go to http://localhost:5601.
|
||
- If you're running the security plugin, go to https://localhost:5601 and log in with your username and password (default is admin/admin).
|
||
|
||
2. From the top menu, select **Management** **>** **Stack Management** **>** **Advanced Settings**.

|
||
|
||
1. Drag and drop field names from the left column into the Configuration panel to generate a visualization.
|
||
|
