Also, sometimes user say "missing" when it's actually in the "empty" list. Would be nice to summarize all of these if it can be done concisely, but I don't think it's a blocker.

===== How do I handle gaps in time series visualizations? | ||||||
|
||||||
*Lens* provides a set of features to handle missing values for *Area* and *Line* charts, which is useful for sparse data in time series data. | ||||||
|
||||||
To select a different way to represent missing values, open the *Visual options* menu, then select how to handle missing values. The default is to hide the missing values. | ||||||
