# What is Job Insights in Storage Studio?

Job Insights is one plain-English screen showing everything Storage Studio does in the background, so nothing runs invisibly. Open it from **More → Job Insights…**.

There's one card per kind of background work — automatic file moves, app relocations, cloud transfers, Free Up Space, keeping cloud files online-only, local snapshots and the daily storage record. Each card says what the job does, when it last ran, a status pill, how many times it has run and how often something went wrong.
