You can add descriptions to your events in Mixpanel using the Lexicon feature. Here are the steps:1. Open Lexicon by selecting the Data Management icon on the right side of the top navigation menu and then select Lexicon.2. In Lexicon, you will see six tabs: Events, Custom Events, Event Properties, Profile Properties, Lookup Tables, and Formulas. Select the "Events" tab.3. Find the event you want to add a description to and click on it.4. You will see a field labeled "Description". Here, you can add the information that describes the event, such as what triggers it or what properties are sent with it.5. Save your changes.If you're an owner or admin, you can add the descriptions directly on the UI itself. Alternatively, you can export the data into a CSV, update the description there, then import it back into Lexicon if it’s easier to clean up that way. If you leverage Segment, mParticle, or Avo.app, you can use that to import your event names and descriptions that way too.If you use Figma to identify your events, some customers add their links to the event descriptions as well.Sources: - Lexicon Overview - Cleaning up display names and adding descriptions for events
