**Insights** visualize data from either Data Sources or Transformations in [Charts](https://docs.locoia.com/data-and-dashboards/dashboards-and-insights/charts).

## Creating and editing an Insights

You can create and edit Insights in two ways:

1. Directly in a Dashboard (recommended)
2. In the *Insights* tab (for changing permission settings)

### Directly in a Dashboard

Go to a dashboard and toggle *Edit Dashboard* to add new Insights to the Dashboard and edit, copy, delete, or rearrange and resize existing ones.

You can then edit existing Insights (first marked icon), copy them (second icon), or delete them (third icon):

{% hint style="info" %}
When you delete an Insight you have two options: \
1\. Remove the Insight - This only removes the Insight from the Dashboard, but does not delete the underlying Insight \
2\. Delete the Insight - This removes the Insight from the Dashboard and deletes the underlying Insight
