# Create and build a chart

**Category:** [Org Charts](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/categories/org-charts)
**Updated:** 2026-08-19

From the Org Charts home, click **New Org Chart**, give it a name, and choose its visibility. You'll land in the builder.
## Add people

Click **Add employee**. You can either:

- **From workspace** — pick an existing person in your TotalCtrl workspace.
- **Enter manually** — type a first/last name, title, and location, and optionally mark them as a *new hire* (useful for roles you're still filling).

Choose who they report to as you add them, or leave them at the top level.
## Edit and remove

Each person in the table below the chart has an **Edit** (pencil) button to change their details and a **Remove** (trash) button. You can also change reporting lines from the *Reports to* dropdown.
