You can import your graph directly into your poster in the same way you would add an illustration:

1. Open the poster you want to add your graph to

3. Click the “image” icon. This will open a pop-up which will display all the files in your Gallery, including Graph files
4. Select the Graph file you would like to import the graph from
5. Select the specific graph you would like to import to the current image section

How to edit a Graph from your poster

Just like with illustrations, you can customize the visual aspects of your graph after it’s been imported to your poster. To edit the graph visuals, you just need to click on the “pen” icon - this will open a pop up allowing you to edit your graph. 

Editing the graph here will not affect the original Graph file. You also can’t access the underlying dataset from this view.

When you’re done editing your graph, you can simply click “Done” and the updated graph will appear on your poster.
