Keep source CSV beside dashboard pins

·February 1, 2026·Use cases

Show the raw export next to stat cards and charts—so anyone can audit the numbers without opening another spreadsheet tab.

Dashboards hide how numbers were computed. A CSV viewer pin displays the source rows on the same canvas as stat cards and charts—trust and traceability for finance and ops reviews.

Why CSV viewer pins?

Audit trail on canvas

Reviewers jump from chart → raw rows in one scroll.

Fewer “send me the export” pings

The CSV lives where the story is told.

Agent workflows

Paste CSV output from a tool run, then ask AI to build charts from the same data.

Getting started

Export CSV from your sheet. Create a CSV viewer pin, paste text or parsed rows. Place adjacent to chart pins sourced from the same file.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
