In the table below the graph we can find a list of data that is currently charted. Now delete the Volume data by clicking on the outline bin icon (below).
Deleting all data displayed for a certain company is performed in the same way — clicking the trash can icon in a row with the company name deletes all data for the company AMD.

ANNOTATIONS allows us to choose between different key events for selected companies which will be shown on the chart as interactive symbols — by moving the mouse cursor over a symbol, additional information about the event will be shown.
By using the marked symbols on the top-right part of the page we can search among the previously saved charts, save the currently displayed one to Capital IQ or export it to Excel (both the image and the data used to draw it get exported).
By right-clicking on the graph, a new menu opens, which allows us to, among other options, save the chart as an image or again export it to Excel.
