# Analytics and Flex Modes

<details>

<summary>What's the difference between the Analytics and Flex modes?</summary>

If you're familiar with the Analytics module, you'll notice some differences in Flex modes:

* The UI is a little different and some things have moved around.
* There are additional features, such as sparklines and the ability to add custom columns directly within the grid.
* Some of the existing Analytics functionality has been retained but enhanced, such as the **Nest** and **Advanced search** features.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to understand that some of the Analytics and core Phocas functionality is not available in the Flex modes. In particular, the ability to add content to a dashboard isn’t available yet.
