"I was actively fighting with time series charts stacked on top of each other... I tested upgrading and it immediately fixed my issue. Can't thank you enough!!"
— Workshop Attendee
What you'll learn in this workshop
Unlock powerful axis customization - Independently control colors, fonts, and rotation for each axis
Enhance visual appeal with gradients, transparency controls, and modern color palettes
Create accessible visualizations with colorblind-friendly defaults and customization options
Safely migrate existing reports without breaking critical dashboards
Master advanced techniques like layered visualizations and creative chart combinations
Why modern charts matter
Classic Looker Studio charts have served us well, but they've always had limitations:
Limited axis control - One size fits all formatting
Poor visual distinction between metrics on multi-axis charts
Accessibility challenges with default color schemes
Inflexible tooltips and legends
Clunky pie/donut chart formatting
Modern Charts solves these problems while maintaining backward compatibility with your existing reports.
"I liked everything about the workshop. The ability to customize each vertical axis and the new color palette was most exciting!"
— Workshop Attendee
