# Baselines

## Overview

ChartSQL introduces baseline marks/lines to add context and reference points to chart visualizations. These lines represent significant values such as averages, min, max, median of a series. Baselines provide visual cues for comparison against a common or target value.

See the [Baselines](/chartsql-studio/creating-charts/baselines.md) documentation
