Charts aren’t a type of layout. They are a component that you add to a Details layout.

I also do not understand how to make charts. The video and documentation is entirely useless, because it starts with a view that already shows the chart options. I don’t understand how to get there in the first place.

It’s a component, just like anything else, that can be added to a Detail Style layout.
