 Tracing is the process of capturing the timing and flow of requests and operations as they happen throughout your application. It can be a powerful debugging tool, helping you identify which link in a sequence of events is causing a problem.

 ### What's Distributed Tracing?
 
 Distributed tracing provides a unified view of how a single request moves from the frontend to the backend and beyond. This is particularly useful in modern applications, which are often composed of multiple services working together. To get a distributed view of your application, instrument Sentry in both your frontend and your backend.

 ### What's a Transaction?
 
 Transactions are a Sentry-specific unit of measurement that references any event that users send to Sentry. In addition to standard event fields, transactions also contains child spans and have a unique transaction ID.

+## How to Use Tracing in Sentry
+
+To get the most out of tracing in Sentry, you'll need to instrument both the frontend and backend of your application with Sentry's SDK. Once this is done, there are several places where you can view and interact with tracing data:
+
+**Explore to Traces to Trace View**
+
+You can view all the traces in your organization by going to the [Traces](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/traces/) page in Sentry. You'll see a chart and a list of traces and be able to see at-a-glance how long each trace took to complete and the number of spans it contains.
+
+If you want more information, click on any trace ID. This will take you to the [Trace View](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/traces/:traceid/) page, which provides a more detailed view of the trace and its spans. Here, you'll see a waterfall view of the spans in the trace, which will show you how long each service and process took to complete and may give you an indicator of where a problem may be coming from. Learn more about the Sentry [Trace View](/platform/explore/trace-view/).
+
+Alternatively, you can use the search bar to look for traces by name, project, or other criteria. You can also use the tags section to filter traces by specific tags. Learn more about the Sentry [Trace Explorer](/platform/explore/trace-explorer/).
+
+**Performance to Trace View**
+
+If you're interested in a high-level view of your application's performance, you can start from the [Performance](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/performance/) page in Sentry where you'll see a list of transactions. Clicking on the transaction ID will take you to the Trace View page for that transaction. Learn more about using Sentry's [Performance Monitoring](/platform/performance-monitoring/).
