# Product Analytics Overview

## Metrics Explorer

Metrics Explorer is where you analyze your product data to understand how users interact with your product and to uncover ideas for new features. After you implement these features, you can release and measure their impact using Statsig feature gates, A/B tests, or experiments to understand how the features affect core metrics.

### Charts in Metrics Explorer

In Metrics Explorer, charts are the primary means of analysis, providing a detailed look at your data. You can switch between chart types from the top-left section of the interface while maintaining context on the selected events. Switching chart types lets you focus on a particular metric or event while exploring it from different angles.

Statsig offers the following chart types:

* [Metric Drilldown](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/drilldown)
* [Funnels](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/funnels)
* [Retention](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/retention)
* [Distribution](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/distribution)
* [User Journeys](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/user-journeys)
* [Lifecycle](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/lifecycle)

Get started with Metrics Explorer charts by navigating to the **Analytics** section of the Statsig console navigation menu and selecting [Metrics Explorer](https://console.statsig.com/metrics/explore).

## Dashboards

[Dashboards](https://docs.statsig.com/product-analytics/dashboards) let you share insights and information with your team. You can save any chart you build to a dashboard. You can also save a snapshot of Feature Gates, A/B tests, and experiments to dashboards. Experiment and feature gate snapshots sync automatically to a dashboard, keeping your team up to date with relevant launches as they emerge. Statsig auto-populates these dashboards with any entity matching the tags you specify.

### Charts in Dashboards

You can add any chart supported in Metrics Drilldown to dashboards. Dashboard charts aren't static. After expanding a chart using the \[ ] icon, you can modify it for further exploration without saving the change to the dashboard. To save changes, click the edit icon or button and save.

To get started, navigate to **Dashboards** in the Statsig left navigation.
