Enable Explorer
As we used to do, before Running an application and initiating explorer for a Chart or Table to select different dimensions and measure, change chart type as well, we first need to enable the explorer for the charts or tables in the Builder tab of the Designer panel as you do for an ordinary story.
Explore View Mode

Navigating between pages and widgets
You can easily navigate between pages and widgets, you just need to click on the page you have in your story, and you will see the name of all the chart /Table ... related to the chosen page
Sort Facets
We use Sort Facets To change the order of the dimensions, In the facet panel, we can select a dimension facet and drag it to a new location, and From the toolbar, select (Sort Facts). you can Sort Facets either use Sort Options to sort all facets into ascending or descending order or you can manually drag the facets to create a new custom order.
