Hi @Ayappan 

 

You can select a visual in the canvas and find its name through Format pane > Title > Title text. After you editing it here, you will find the name updated in Selection pane.

@Ayappan  When you select the visual/ chat from canvas so it will automatically highlight the chat small icon in the visualization pane. Then hover on that highlighted chart so it will show you the name.
