Inspired by customer feedback, we've introduced two new chart styles:
Modern
Fresh and fun, with rounded edges, smoothed lines, lighter labels, and vibrant colors
Professional
Classic and authoritative, with straight edges, heavier labels, and traditional colors
New color palettes can be applied to charts based on the selected style:
Bright or Cool (Modern)
Business or Basic (Professional)
Purple or Stone for a monochromatic look (both styles)
As always, you'll still be able to customize the color of individual series and create your own custom color palettes for reuse across your workspace.
