Hi ​@sshen1You can link the Category field from your imported dataset to the corresponding shapes and use conditional formatting to highlight shapes whose category matches a specified value. For example, you can create a rule such as Category = Type A to change the fill color of matching shapes.Lucidchart does not appear to offer a native interactive canvas filter that allows viewers to select a category value and automatically filter or highlight only the matching data-linked shapes. If you need multiple category views, you could consider using conditional-formatting rules, layers, or separate views for each category.To learn moreLink data to a Lucidchart document – LucidAdd conditional formatting in Lucidchart – LucidHope this helps !!
