# Panels and visualizations
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.
Before you add a panel, ensure that you have configured a data source.
- For details about using data sources, refer to [Data sources][].
- For more information about managing data sources as an administrator, refer to [Data source management][].
