Amazon QuickSight launches highlighting, a new interaction capability for analysis and dashboards. Highlighting allows authors and readers to emphasize and track specific data points across visuals, making it easier to compare data elements throughout a sheet and explore insights more effectively.
With highlighting, simply select or hover over a data point in a visual, and related data across other visuals will stand out, while unrelated data is dimmed or greyed out. This seamless interaction helps users understand correlations, spot patterns, trends and outliers, facilitating faster and more informed analysis.
Highlighting is now available in Amazon Web Services regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet - see here for QuickSight regional endpoints.
This can be turned on under Analysis or Sheet Settings. For more details refer to documentation for analysis settings or sheet settings.
