chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that
the chart references.

After unlinking the chart, it behaves as any chart created in Pages, and must be
updated using the Chart Data Editor
Clicking the Source link next to the Refresh button opens the Numbers document that
the chart is linked to. (If the Source link is hidden, expand the Refresh button control
panel by dragging its handle outward.)
Formatting Charts
Every chart you create has an associated title, chart legend, and labels that you can
choose to show or hide in your document or change their look and placement on the
page. You can also change the chart colors and textures, the axis scales and tick marks,
and the data point labels within the chart. You can rotate 2D charts and adjust the
angle and lighting style used in 3D charts.
Many of the instructions given here provide details for performing tasks using the
Chart inspector. But many of these task steps can also be performed using the format
bar. The options in the format bar change, depending on what item you have selected
on the page, always providing you with appropriate formatting options.
