## Open the Panel editor
If your user account is assigned the appropriate [organization role]({{< relref "../permissions/organization_roles.md" >}}) or [permissions]({{< relref "../permissions/_index.md" >}}), then you can edit or update a panel at any point after it is created. For more information about creating panels, refer to [Add a panel]({{< relref "./add-a-panel.md" >}}).
## Open the panel editor

The section contains tabs where you control almost every aspect of how your data is visualized. Not all tabs are available for each visualization.
The section contains tabs where you configure almost every aspect of your data Visualization. Not all options are available for each visualization.
Features in these tabs are documented in the following topics:
The data model used in Grafana, namely the [data frame]({{< relref "../developers/plugins/data-frames.md" >}}), is a columnar-oriented table structure that unifies both time series and table query results. Each column within this structure is called a _field_. A field can represent a single time series or table column.
- [Add a panel]({{< relref "add-a-panel.md" >}}) describes basic panel settings.
- [Visualization]({{< relref "visualizations/_index.md" >}}) options vary widely. They are described in the individual visualization topic.
- [Field options and overrides]({{< relref "field-options/_index.md" >}}) allow you to control almost every aspect of your visualization, including units, value mappings, and [Thresholds]({{< relref "thresholds.md" >}}).
Field options allow you to change how the data is displayed in your visualizations. Options and overrides that you apply do not change the data, however they change how Grafana displays the data.
#### Field options
When you change an option, it is applied to all fields, meaning all series or columns. For example, if you change the unit to percentage, then all fields with numeric values are displayed in percentages.
## Field overrides
_Field overrides_ can be added or viewed in the Overrides tab in the panel editor side menu. You can apply options to specific fields (series or columns) rather than all fields. Learn how to apply an override in [Field overrides]({{< relref "./field-overrides.md" >}}).
Options are documented in the following topics:
- [Add a panel]({{< relref "./add-a-panel.md" >}}) describes how to add a panel to a dashboard.
- [Panel options]({{< relref "./panel-options.md" >}})
- [Visualization options]({{< relref "visualizations/_index.md" >}}) vary widely. They are described in the individual visualization topic.
- [Standard options]({{< relref "./standard-options.md" >}})
- [Thresholds]({{< relref "./thresholds.md" >}})
- [Value mappings]({{< relref "./value-mappings.md" >}})
- [Panel links]({{< relref "../linking/panel-links.md" >}}) and [Data links]({{< relref "../linking/data-links.md" >}}) help you connect your visualization to other resources.
