# 8x8 Work Analytics: New Active Calls Report Comparison

## Overview

The new Active Calls report introduces a redesigned dashboard with an updated layout, modern navigation, and improved data organization. This update ensures a consistent user experience across 8x8 product offerings while making it easier to search for specific calls, download summaries, and view detailed interaction data.

- The new Active Calls report does not contain historical data from the previous Active Calls report.
- We recommend exporting and saving any needed data from the old report before switching.
