The News Activity line graph displays detailed statistics on different news metrics. Each metric has a corresponding color in the graph. By default, it displays all news metrics. This way, you can see how the options overlap in the entire graph. You can deselect one or more metrics to customize the graph. This allows for comparison between specific areas, for example, posts and likes.

When you hover over a certain date on the graph, you can see specific data for that date, depending on the metrics that are selected. You can further narrow down your results by applying filters or removing metrics. 

The values on the right side of the graph also shift the appropriate high value depending on the different metrics and filters selected. For example, if the Visits metric had a high value and you deselect it, the highest graph value automatically adjusts to the next highest value. The values at the bottom of the graph also shift automatically depending on the time frame selected. For large time frames, such as a year, the time displays in monthly increments. For short time frames, such as a week, the time displays in daily increments.

Color-coded percentages underneath the different metrics show how that metric has changed since the previous time period. A positive number in green indicates that the metric has increased. A negative number in red indicates the metric has decreased. These percentages give admins exact numbers so they can see how much growth or decline in interaction there has been in each specific category.

By default, the date range filter is set to seven days when first opening the tab. The percentages also automatically compare the metrics from the last seven days.
