GLAM's enumerated histogram view (https://glam-stage.bespoke.nonprod.dataops.mozgcp.net/firefox/probe/update_notification_shown/explore?activeBuckets=%5B%222%22%2C%220%22%2C%221%22%2C%223%22%2C%224%22%2C%225%22%2C%226%22%2C%227%22%2C%228%22%2C%229%22%5D&aggregationLevel=build_id&channel=release&os=Windows&process=parent&proportionMetricType=proportions&timeHorizon=MONTH&visiblePercentiles=%5B95%2C75%2C50%2C25%2C5%5D) answered somebody's question today in #data-help (which is awesome), but it was a bit more confusing than need be because it didn't use the labels included with the probe (update_notification_shown). This appears to be a regression from the old telemetry dashboard.

To be a little pedantic, this is for "categorical" histograms (where the labels are in a known machine-readable format (the labels property)) which are distinct from "enumerated" histograms (where the labels are unknown unless you dive into the description, the source, or history). There's sadly nothing we can do about histograms with the "enumerated" kind beyond continuing to ask data owners to move to "categorical" histograms because they're better for analysis.
