Since the [**Release 2.58**](/release-notes/2024/crystal-web/crystal-web-v2.58.md), every Topic Card shows a new button representing a **Bar** **Chart**, next to the Three-dot Menu and the Expand icon.

By clicking on it, you will be able to **change the Chart Type** for that Topic.

This capability expands the set of possible [**Visualizations available per Objective**](/fundamentals/crystal-topics.md) and allows you to be in charge of choosing the best Chart type to visualize your data.

This is what you can do.

## Visualize any Topic as a Table

For *any Topic Objective*, you can always change the Chart type to the Table visualization.

This Chart switch helps you better read the data underlying the Topic and can be an alternative to [downloading the dataset](/crystal-advisor/report-and-discuss-your-data/export-topic.md).

## Visualize Overtime Topics as Bar Charts

You can now choose to visualize an Overtime Topic as a Bar Chart instead of a Line Chart.

This Chart switch helps you observe the unfolding of data in time, as each bar represents a specific data point.

<div><figure><img src="/files/JxqmFDlGwMzPr1vfL0YB" alt=""><figcaption><p>A Topic "Overtime" as a Line Chart...</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/B5F7Xqkw4Hv0kGBA20PS" alt=""><figcaption><p>... and as a Bar Chart</p></figcaption></figure></div>

## Visualize Comparison Topics as Line Charts

Conversely, you can now choose to visualize a Comparison Topic as a Line Chart instead of a Bar Chart.

This Chart switch helps you observe the categories as separate lines.

<div><figure><img src="/files/wDSLV6imbYkohpcA7cdg" alt=""><figcaption><p>A Topic "Comparison" as a Bar Chart...</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/kMA1qh36zoBXXbNn2BGf" alt=""><figcaption><p>... and as a Line Chart</p></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Please Note**</mark>

Comparison Topics represented by a Scatterplot Chart cannot be switched to Line Charts.
