# Sliders

Description: Put the sliders for chosen line-items on the worksheet, so simulations can be run without opening the Scenario Manager.
A slider tile puts the sliders for chosen line-items directly on a worksheet, so a reader can adjust values and see the effect without opening the Scenario Manager.

## What it is

You choose which line-items a tile shows. That can be one slider on its own, or all the sliders relevant to a sheet gathered into a single tile.

Add one by adding a chart to your workspace and selecting **Slider** in the chart type selection.

## When to use it

* You want a focused simulation on the sheet itself, with only the handful of line-items that matter there.
* You are presenting and want to adjust an assumption without leaving the sheet.
* You want a reader who does not know the model to still be able to try a change safely.

Use a **[split slider](/split-sliders/)** instead when the total has to stay fixed and you only want to shift shares between its parts.

## Configuration

Everything is reached from the tile itself:

| Control                 | What it does                                                                                       |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Edit** button         | Change which line-items the tile shows sliders for.                                                |
| **Settings**            | Rename, move, duplicate or delete the tile.                                                        |
| **Before/after column** | Show the impact of the slider's value next to it.                                                  |
| **Reset**               | Reset a single slider from the button to its right, or every slider in the tile from the settings. |

## Good to know

* **A slider tile cannot leave its workspace.** It cannot be duplicated or moved to another workspace.
* **Line-items with more than one variant are not supported.** A slider needs a single variant to act on.
* **Step size comes from the line-item, not the tile.** It is set under **Sliders > Step Size** in the [Scenario Manager](/sliders-in-the-scenario-manager/).
