# Manage Optimize Channels
Take the PXA course
*Optimize Channels* will tell you more about the various channels you are tracking. These channels can provide insight into the path partner-driven traffic taken between their interaction with the partner and the action you are tracking. Data gathered by Optimize Channels will also help fill in your *Channel Dashboard*, which has information like *Performance by Month* or *Sub-Channel*, all aggregated by channel type.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Note:** The *Channels* feature is part of the Optimize add-on and requires you to pass the `CustomerStatus` and `CustomerId` parameters in your tracking. [Contact support](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true) to discuss adding this to your account.

2. In the left navigation bar, select **Settings → Channels**.
3. To search for a specific channel, enter that channel's name under *Channels*.
* Selecting  **\[Search]** will not perform a regex search, so you do not have to worry about capitalization or using the channel's exact name.
4. View the channel.
* Refer to the *Table reference* for more information about the channel itself.
5. From here, you have choices on what you can do.
* Under *Media*, view the number of [media sources](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/cross-channel-performance-insights/manage-optimize-media-sources) associated with a particular channel. Select the number to view a drill down of the media sources.
