### Changing the explore of an existing chart
139+
140+
Once a chart is saved, you can switch the explore (table) it is built on without having to recreate the chart. Open the saved chart, open the **Change explore** dialog, pick the new explore, and all field references will be remapped to it.

Tick **Also update all other charts using this explore** to remap every chart built on the current explore in one go — useful when an entire model is being replaced.
147+
148+
Fields that exist on the new explore with the same field IDs are kept; anything that doesn't exist on the new explore is dropped, and you'll need to re-pick the missing fields before saving.

<Tip>

A handy use case is **migrating charts from one model to another** — for example, when you rename a dbt model or replace it with a new version. Instead of rebuilding the charts from scratch, point them at the new explore and keep the configuration that still applies.
