…config Adds a new "Data" section to guides/configure-charts.mdx covering both the row-limit Switch (Show/Hide × First/Last × N) and the per-chart column limit for pivoted cartesian charts. Adds a parallel "Limiting displayed rows" section to references/chart-types/table.mdx for the table chart, including the non-pivoted-tables-only constraint. The existing pivot column-limits section in table.mdx is left as-is since it documents a different concept (system-wide pivot cap from LIGHTDASH_PIVOT_TABLE_MAX_COLUMN_LIMIT) — the new per-chart column limit is for cartesian charts only.

Adds the screenshot of the "Limit displayed rows" Switch with its Show/Hide × First/Last × N controls in the cartesian chart config. Removes the two image references for the column-limit and table row-limit controls — those screenshots are not yet captured, so the text-only sections render cleanly without broken image icons.

Captures the Column limit input set to 2 alongside the bar chart showing only 2 of 3 pivot series after the limit takes effect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
guides/configure-charts.mdxdescribing the in-chart row-limit Switch (Show/Hide × First/Last × N) and the per-chart column limit for pivoted cartesian charts.references/chart-types/table.mdxcovering the same row-limit control for tables, with a note that it's only available on non-pivoted tables.Context
Both controls are gated by feature flags (
show-hide-rows,show-hide-columns). The companion lightdash PR (lightdash/lightdash#22582) flips both flags to default-enabled in the DB so this documentation reflects the out-of-the-box experience.The existing pivot column-limits section in
table.mdxis intentionally untouched — it documents a different, system-wide cap (LIGHTDASH_PIVOT_TABLE_MAX_COLUMN_LIMIT) that errors when exceeded, whereas the new per-chart column limit silently keeps the first N pivot groups in cartesian charts only.Test plan
