# Using Explore in ASK BOSCO®
## Learn how to use Explore in ASK BOSCO® to dig deeper into your Dashboard visualizations. Discover how to apply filters, add or replace columns, compare data, and save new insights - all powered by AI-driven Usage-Based Ranking.
### Overview
Explore Mode lets you dig deeper into your data directly from a Dashboard visualization.
With Explore Mode, you can:
- Open a visualization for AI-guided exploration
- Apply suggested filters
- Add or replace data columns
- Compare groups using the “versus” keyword
All of this is powered by **Usage-Based Ranking (UBR)**, which personalizes suggestions based on search popularity and your own activity history.
### Accessing Explore Mode
1. Hover over any visualization in your Dashboard.
2. Click the **ellipsis (⋮)** icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select **Explore** from the dropdown menu.
Your visualization will open in **Explore Mode** - still fully interactive, allowing you to drill down or undo changes just like in the Dashboard.
### Navigating Explore Mode
In Explore Mode, you’ll find four key tabs on the right side of the panel:
1. **Filter**
2. **Add**
3. **Replace**
4. **Compare**
#### **Filter**
The **Filter** tab appears by default. Here you can:
- Add your own filters, or
- Choose from **suggested filters** generated by UBR
UBR analyzes search popularity across your organization and your own usage history to suggest relevant filters.
**Example:**
Select the suggested filter **Channel = Shopping** to narrow down your data.
#### Add
The **Add** tab lets you include new columns in your visualization for deeper insight.
You can:
- Select a specific column to add, or
- Use UBR’s suggested columns
**Example:**
Add the column **State** to break down total monthly sales for shirts by location.
#### Replace
Use the **Replace** tab to swap one measure or attribute with another.
**Example:**
Replace the **Sales** column with **Quantity Purchased** to view item counts instead of revenue.
#### Compare
The **Compare** tab allows you to evaluate two values using the **versus** keyword.
**Example:**
Compare performance **this year vs. last year** using the date filter.
1. Choose the first value (Last Year).
2. Choose the second value (This Year).
3. Click **Apply** to generate the comparison.
### Saving Your Changes
If you want to keep the modified visualization:
1. Click the **Pin** icon.
2. Choose whether to add it to the current Dashboard or a different one.
3. Click **Close** to exit Explore Mode and return to your Dashboard.
### **Summary**
Explore Mode helps you:
- Interact with your visualizations dynamically
- Use AI-powered suggestions to refine your data view
- Quickly compare, add, or replace metrics
- Save insights directly to your Dashboard
With **UBR**, the more you use ASK BOSCO®, the smarter your suggestions become — helping you find insights faster and more intuitively.
