## How the Spend over time chart and insights work on Home
## How insights work on Home

The chart section on Home shows one spending insight at a time, starting with **Spend over time**, which displays a line chart of your workspace spending trends.
**Home** displays one insight at a time, with **Spend over time** selected by default.

Select the insight title (with the chevron next to it) to open the insight picker, then choose a different insight to show in the chart. The available insights match the ones you can open under **Spend**, and can include:
To display a different insight, select the insight title and choose another insight, such as:

- **Spend over time**
- **Top categories**
- **Top merchants**
- **Top spenders**

Your selection is saved, so the chart shows the same insight the next time you return to Home, even after you sign out and back in.
To view all available insights:

To open the selected insight in full, select the three dots **(⋮)**, then select **View**. This takes you to that insight on the **Spend** page.
- On web, select **Insights** in the navigation tabs on the left.
- On mobile, select **Spend** in the navigation tabs on the bottom,.

This section is available to Workspace Admins, Auditors, and approvers on paid workspaces. If an insight doesn't have enough data yet to draw a chart, the section still appears and shows a **Chart unavailable** message instead. If you don't hold one of these roles on any workspace, this section won't appear.

To learn more about each insight, see [Learn how to use Insights in Expensify](/articles/new-expensify/insights/How-to-Use-Insights-in-Expensify).
