Examples
When to Use
- Showing how a total quantity distributes across categories or stages
- Budget allocation breakdowns
- User flow through a funnel or process
- Energy or resource flow analysis

- Keep source/target names concise — long labels get truncated
- Use the "vibrant" color scheme for presentations with many nodes
- Sankey works best with 3–15 nodes per side; beyond that, consider filtering
