The experience has now been expanded and you can now track your budgets on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To view your budgets, simply open any subscription or resource group and select the Cost Management tile. You\u2019ll see a new screen with your current cost, forecast, last month\u2019s cost, and any budgets you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/78af63d4-1c09-412c-bd2c-55dd28d6381b.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Azure mobile app showing cost and budget status.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would you like to see next?<a id=\"Cost savings insights in the cost analysis preview\" name=\"Cost%20savings%20insights%20in%20the%20cost%20analysis%20preview\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cost-savings-insights-in-the-cost-analysis-preview\">Cost savings insights in the cost analysis preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost optimization is arguably the number one goal for organizations using Cost Management. When I talk to people about how to drive cost efficiency, I always start with Azure Advisor. Advisor recommendations are the quickest way to address some of the most common inefficiencies. Unfortunately, many still don\u2019t know about Azure Advisor or forget to check in to see if there are any new recommendations. In an effort to help you drive the most efficient solutions, the cost analysis preview now includes a summary of your subscription cost recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/990bbf31-01c3-4e37-8894-01e07956839e.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of the cost analysis preview with an insight showing cost savings of up to $497 per month.\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope this helps you drive cost efficiency across your resources.
