# Display information about changelists

To display brief information about changelists, use the `p4 changes` command. To display full information, use the `p4 describe` command. The following table describes some useful reporting commands and options:

Command | Description
--- | ---
`p4 changes` | Displays a list of all pending, submitted, and shelved changelists, one line per changelist, and an abbreviated description.
`p4 changes -m count` | Limits the number of changelists reported on to the last specified number of changelists.
`p4 changes -s status` | Limits the list to those changelists with a particular status; for example, `p4 changes -s submitted` lists only already submitted changelists.
`p4 changes -u user` | Limits the list to those changelists submitted by a particular user.
`p4 changes -c workspace` | Limits the list to those changelists submitted from a particular client workspace.
`p4 describe changenum` | Displays full information about a single changelist. If the changelist has already been submitted, the report includes a list of affected files and the diffs of these files. (You can use the `-s` option to exclude the file diffs.)
`p4 describe -O changenum` | If a changelist was renumbered, describe the changelist in terms of its original change number. See at Create numbered changelists, where "Example: Automatic renumbering of changelists" shows a case where you can use either `p4 describe 783` or `p4 describe -O 777`.
