Hi,  
I am an Observable newbie with only a few months of JS experience who is exploring dataviz.  
I have tried to reproduce an original Vega-Lite example in Observable but failed so far. When I use the exact same VL object (apart from the actual source of the data) I get a slightly different graph in Observable, with a stacked iso a grouped view, and a missing legend heading.  
The Observable notebook can be found here:

> **[Learning Vega lite - failed copy-paste ?!](https://observablehq.com/@7522f473057192b5/learning-vega-lite-failed-copy-paste)**
>
> Result with Vega-lite from Observable: stacked, not grouped; color legend heading not visible What I was expecting (same VL object apart from data source): Vega-Lite from idL: Grouped Bar Chart

Any suggestion where this might have gone wrong ?

Thx in advance

Hey @Snoopy2024! Sorry for the slow reply. This was a tricky question – I discovered that [vega-embed](https://observablehq.com/@vega/hello-vega-embed) is the suggested approach for embedding vega-lite in Observable.

Here’s a fork of your notebook with the [working example](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/vega-lite-question-response), please let me know if you have any follow-up!
