We've improved performance while editing reports with a large number of components.
Color by order colors the data according to its position in the chart. E.g., the first series is always blue.
Color by dimension value lets you define the colors to use for each value in your charts. E.g., "France" is always represented in blue. Coloring by dimension values ensures that your data uses color consistently, regardless of the position of that data in the chart. This is now the default behavior for new reports.
