How to generate the thumbnail of your visualization

Need to generate and download a thumbnail image of your Flourish visualization? Follow these steps.

Additional information here if you want:

1

First, make sure that you've published your visualization.

2

Find the link to the public version of your visualization. You can do this by clicking on the Export & publish and clicking on the first link in that box (the one that starts with  https://public)



3

To that link, add the word  thumbnail at the very end. If your link is, for example,  https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/123456/, you should now have  https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/123456/thumbnail

4

Paste that link into your browser. You should be redirected to a page that show you a picture of your visualization.

5

Press right-click on your mouse or trackpad and click on Save Image As... and save it to your computer.

That's it! You should now have a thumbnail image of your visualization saved locally. You can do this for stand-alone visualizations and for stories, but in this second case, the thumbnail will only show the first slide.

TIP: The thumbnail generated will always correspond to the latest published version of your visualization, so make sure to keep it up to date.
