# Panels and visualizations
{{< docs/hero-simple key="hero" >}}
The _panel_ is the basic visualization building block in Grafana.
Each panel has a query editor specific to the data source selected in the panel.
The query editor allows you to build a query that returns the data you want to visualize.
---
There are a wide variety of styling and formatting options for each panel.
Panels can be dragged, dropped, and resized to rearrange them on the dashboard.
## Overview
Before you add a panel, ensure that you have configured a data source.
Panels are the basic building block in Grafana dashboards, composed of a [query][] and a visualization, a graphical representation of query results.
- For details about using data sources, refer to [Data sources][].
Visualizations provide you several different ways to present your data within a panel, depending on what best suits the data and your needs. Grafana’s growing suite of visualizations, ranging from time series graphs to heatmaps to cutting-edge 3D charts, help you decode complex datasets.
- For more information about managing data sources as an administrator, refer to [Data source management][].
Panels offer a wide variety of formatting and styling options from applying colors based on field values to custom units. Each visualization also comes with options specific to it that give you further control over how your data is displayed. With Grafana panels and visualizations, you can easily get the information you need from your data and optimize performance.
