Getting started with your Pro plan
If you signed up for a Pro plan, you might wonder what you can do now that hasn't been possible before. Here's an explanation of all the features you've unlocked by purchasing a Datawrapper Pro plan. (Find all our pricing options here.)
If you haven't used Datawrapper at all so far: Welcome! Make sure to check out our A first tour through Datawrapper article first.
Let's see what's new for you:
Contents
- Removed Datawrapper attribution
- Managing user licences
- PDF and SVG export
- 90 days edit history
- Automatic publishing of additional images
- Add custom fields to the Datawrapper editor
Removed Datawrapper attribution
One of the first things you'll notice is that the little "Created with Datawrapper" attribution at the bottom of each visualization is gone from every new visualization you create. Now, no matter where you embed or show your Datawrapper visualizations, no one will know which tool you used to create them. (Note that visualizations you published on the Free plan will have to be republished to remove the attribution.)
Managing user licences
You can use the Pro plan all by yourself – but more likely, you want to collaborate with others. As the admin of your workspace, you can add and remove users to it whenever needed. Here are some helpful links:
👉 How to manage user licenses, an article that answer lots of questions you might have
👉 The Members page in your workspace settings shows you who's currently using a license
To make the most of your Pro license, you may also want to revisit the concepts that apply to every plan:
👉 Create as many teams as you need in your workspace for a perfect workflow, set them to public (=discoverable by any workspace member) or private, and invite different people to those teams.
👉 Give the invited people different roles (admin, manager, member, or guest) to control who of them can manage your workspace or teams.
👉 Control who can edit visualizations and who can't with edit permissions. Note that read-only users don't count towards the user licenses.
PDF and SVG export
Every member of your workspace can now export all their visualizations as not only PNG, but also PDF and SVG in step 4: Publish & Embed.
This has advantages: While PNGs are raster images and great for social media and presentations, all PDFs and SVGs you download from Datawrapper are completely vector-based and can be edited in vector graphics software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape.
Note that this works for maps, too: You can edit the map layer of choropleth, symbol, and locator maps after downloading them.
90 days edit history
As you’re making edits to all your visualization, Datawrapper automatically keeps storing new versions of your chart, map, or table. You can access old versions of your visualizations in the Edit history. On your Pro plan, edit history goes back 90 days (opposed to 30 days on the Free plan and 1 year on the Business plan).
Automatic publishing of additional images
With the unlocked image publishing, you can configure Datawrapper to automatically generate PNGs, PDFs, or SVGs of your visualizations whenever you hit publish – for fallback images (e.g. for RSS feeds), social media, print, etc.
Add custom fields to the Datawrapper editor
Last but not least, your Pro plan unlocked the ability to add custom fields to the Datawrapper editor that help you to simplify your workflow and to let you create more customized visualizations. Custom fields basically let you can add information to all your team chart, maps & tables. After you defined them in your workspace or team settings, they will appear in step 3: Visualize > Annotate, below the part where you (or your team members) give your visualization a title, description, source, byline, etc.
We hope you enjoy the benefits of the Pro plan in your workspace. Do let us know if you have any questions. We're happy to help at support@datawrapper.de.
