# Manage Custom Charts

> Describes how to manage custom charts.

Administrators can create custom charts using the custom chart CLI. Download, import, and delete custom charts in the user interface (UI). Custom charts can also be made visible on various menus in the Self-Service Analytics user interface (UI). By default, custom charts (visual types) are not visible until enabled for a source. See [Available Visual Types](/simba-embedded-analytics/docs/self-service-analytics/26.3/analyze-data/visuals/available-visual-types).

<Note>
  You must be an administrator to manage custom visual types.

  Download a Custom Chart
</h2>

**Download a custom chart**

1. Log into the UI as an administrator.
2. Access the Manage Custom Charts page. See [List Custom Charts](#list-custom-charts).
3. Locate the visual in the table of visuals.
4. Select the download icon for the visual. The `.zip` file for the visual is downloaded.

<Note>
  When you download the visual from the Manage Custom Charts page, the zip file includes a file called `version` that contains the version of the Self-Service Analytics server. If you later try to import this zip file to a Self-Service Analytics server using a different version an error will occur indicating that the versions do not match. An easy workaround is to modify the version in the `version` file before trying the import.
