Hello,  
is there a way to inverse the series selection on visualizations.  
Right now when you click on the legend of one series it gets removed from the chart.  
Is there a way to enable the opposite meaning that only the clicked series is shown(and by clicking more series they are shown and not removed from the chart)?

Hi @nickgregz ,

sure, just hold the `Shift` keyboard key when clicking the series.  
To add the other series just keep clicking without the `Shift` key.

This and other tricks and advanced explanations are available in the Lens FAQ page: [Create visualizations with Lens | Kibana Guide [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lens.html#lens-faq)
