# Panels and visualizations in Grafana version 9 **** This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support **Grafana version 9.x**. For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 12.x, see [Working in Grafana version 12](using-grafana-v12.md). For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see [Working in Grafana version 10](using-grafana-v10.md). For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see [Working in Grafana version 8](using-grafana-v8.md). The *panel* is the basic visualization building block in Grafana. Each panel has a query editor specific to the data source selected in the panel. The query editor allows you to build a query that returns the data you want to visualize. There are a wide variety of styling and formatting options for each panel. Panels can be dragged, dropped, and resized to rearrange them on the dashboard. Before you add a panel, ensure that you have configured a data source. Additional panel types might be available by installing additional [plugins](grafana-plugins.md) to your workspace. + For details about using specific data sources, see [Connect to data sources](AMG-data-sources.md). **Topics** + [Panel editor overview](v9-panels-editor-overview.md) + [Configure panel options](v9-panels-configure-panel-options.md) + [Configure standard options](v9-panels-configure-standard-options.md) + [Query and transform data](v9-panels-query-xform.md) + [Configure thresholds](v9-panels-configure-thresholds.md) + [Configure data links](v9-panels-configure-data-links.md) + [Configure field overrides](v9-panels-configure-overrides.md) + [Configure value mappings](v9-panels-configure-value-mappings.md) + [Configure a legend](v9-panels-configure-legend.md) + [Calculation types](v9-panels-calculation-types.md) + [Annotating visualizations](v9-panels-annotate-visualizations.md) + [The panel inspect view](v9-panels-panel-inspector.md) + [Visualizations available in Grafana version 9](v9-panels-viz.md)
