How are new users compared to returning users visualized in the dashboard?

When visualizing new users compared to returning users in a dashboard, using a doughnut chart provides a clear and effective representation. Doughnut charts are particularly useful for showing proportions and relationships among different categories within a whole, making it easier to see the ratio of new users to returning users at a glance. It allows the viewer to quickly assess what percentage of the user base consists of new versus returning customers, thus facilitating a faster understanding of user engagement.

The circular design of the doughnut chart emphasizes the total user count while split segments help visualize different user types. This method wins out in contexts where the focus lies on overall proportions rather than specific trend lines over time or absolute values, which are represented more effectively by other chart types.
