# Spokes

Use the Spokes indicators to view details such as spoke usage, spoke actions, and subflows for the selected spoke.

In Virtual Agent, conversations contain topics, topics contain spokes, and spokes contain spoke actions or subflows. The **Spokes** indicators show which spokes, actions, and subflows were used and how often.
