7. All the above changes can be committed by clicking on “Apply”
   1. Similarly, all the Y-axes can be configured in the Y-axis tab with all of the above options. Additionally, users can configure what the chart type is for each of the X vs Y plots, line type, line color, series name, and a chart title.
