== Inspecting Visualizations
Many visualizations allow you to inspect the data behind the
visualization.
To inspect a visualization, click the *Inspect* button in the editor or
select *Inspect* from the Dashboard panel menu.
The initial view shows the underlying data for the visualization. You can
download the data as a comma separated values (CSV) file in
*Formatted* or *Raw* format. Formatted downloads the data in table format.
Raw downloads the data as provided -- dates are timestamps, numbers don’t have
thousand separators, and so on.
To view the requests that collected the data, select *Requests* from the *View*
menu in the upper right.
Which views are available depends on the inspected visualization.
