To configure a widget using Change Tracking data:

1. In a dashboard or notebook, add or edit a supported widget type (Timeseries, Query Value, Table, Tree Map, Top List, Pie, Change, or Bar Chart).

Use 'timeseries' instead of 'Timeseries'.
3. From the **data source** dropdown, select `Change Tracking`.
4. Configure your filters (**Service** is required).
5. (Optional) For widgets that support grouping, use **Group by** to split results.

For Timeseries widgets, Change Tracking can also be enabled as an **Event Overlay**. This displays changes overlaid on top of a timeseries to help correlate them with metric behavior.

Hi! is this needed? Since it’s a service from the Demo org, it’s already mentioned and displayed elsewhere in the docs (including this page). Happy to update if you think it’s required.

Ah, okay, I wasn't 100% sure it was Demo due to the name of the service. If it was taken in Demo, then it should be fine to keep as-is.
