 # Grafana Traces app
 
-Grafana app plugin that allows users for a query-less way to navigate and visualize trace data stored in Tempo.
+Distributed traces provide a way to monitor applications by tracking requests across services.
+Traces record the details of a request to help understand why an issue is or was happening.
+
+Tracing is best used for analyzing the performance of your system, identifying bottlenecks, monitoring latency, and providing a complete picture of how requests are processed.
+
+Explore Traces helps you make sense of your tracing data so you can automatically visualize insights from your Tempo traces data.
+Before this app, you would use [TraceQL](https://grafana.com/docs/tempo/latest/traceql/), the query language for tracing, to [construct a query](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/traces/traces-query-editor/) in Grafana.
