Hi Team,

Is it possible to have textual description of the visualization and see it within the visualization ? For example, in the debug panel maybe ?

There isn't a way to do it currently, we have [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/2538](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/2538) filed as an enhancement request.
