To access trends in Mixpanel, you'll want to use the Insights report, which is specifically designed to visualize trends and compositions within your data.

Here's how to access and use Insights to analyze trends:

1. Navigate to the Insights report in your Mixpanel project 2. Choose your behavior by selecting an event or metric you want to analyze 3. Select how you want to measure that behavior (unique users, total events, etc.) 4. Apply any filters to focus on specific segments of your data 5. Add breakdowns if you want to segment your data into groups 6. Choose a visualization type that best represents your data (line charts work well for trends)

The Insights report allows you to answer questions like: - How is my weekly active user count changing over time? - How often are users engaging with specific features? - What's the distribution of users across different regions or devices?

For more advanced trend analysis, you can also: - Create formulas to calculate custom metrics - Compare current data to past periods - Apply rolling averages to smooth out data and see clearer trends - Use cumulative analysis to see how values add up over time

Insights documentation provides comprehensive information about all these features and how to use them effectively.
