# Pivot through PADNS Data

With one click, you can dive into passive DNS data from any observable and run queries or reverse lookups across a range of records.

1. From the main menu **Search** bar, load a list of PADNS observables. This opens up the **Explore** screen.
2. Left-click an observable name under the **Query** tab.
3. Pick a record type (NS, TXT, Any IPv4/IPv6, CNAME, A/AAAA, MX, PTR4) for your forward or reverse query.
4. Click the **Lookup PADNS** button.
5. Leave fields blank to grab all associated records in one go!
6. After results pop up, left-click column headers to organize your data.
