# Examining Variants

## Overview

After [discovering variants in a process](https://documentation.decisions.com/process-mining/docs/discovering-variants-with-variant-rules), the **Inspect Variants** tab in the Variant Explorer populates with data about every variant found in the log.

Users may refer to the Inspect Variants Tab to view variant popularity at a glance and/or to pinpoint what cases tended to contain variants as well as when and where a particular variant occurs in the execution.
