## **Remarks**

* **Markers** help **highlight individual data points** within the series.
* **Only references** to image files are stored in the presentation — **not the actual image content**.\
  ➤ **If the source image is updated**, the updated version will be used during playback automatically.
* The **color picker** allows you to choose from **fixed colors, gradients, textures, or patterns** for both markers and their borders.
* If you use **image markers**, ensure that the source image file remains available and synchronized for consistent presentation playback.
