# Insights (Discover)

Insights serve as a vital tool to decode the narratives hidden within your data, helping you make informed, data-driven decisions.

* Understand the granularity of the data as it determines the insights that you will get as a result. Ensure that the data is properly aggregated to understand the key characteristics of certain types of invoices or transactions.
* Utilize the Insights generation feature from **Search** or **Vizpads** that help explore the “why” from ad-hoc questions. Selecting anomalies provides the “**Understand Why**” option, which is a one-click trend insight that uses all features.
* Configuring Insights from the **Discover** tab allows for a more “hypothesis” driven approach to answering questions.
* To accelerate the Insights generation, it is recommended to exclude unnecessary or irrelevant columns (e.g., columns named "user ID", "product number") during the creation of Insights.
* Use the **Edit** option for pre-existing Insights. This allows quick iteration through Insights by including or excluding more columns, changing time periods, or filters from the original Insight rather than reconfiguring from scratch each time.
* Save/move **Insights** to **Projects**, which is an effective way to organize content that can easily be shared with users or user groups.
