Changing-Look AGNs (CLAGNs) are rare and fascinating phenomena where active galactic nuclei transition between different spectral states in a timescale of months to years, which challenges the unification model of AGNs that have been explaining the AGN phenomenon in the last four decades. Although the physics behind the CLAGNs are not still fully understood, the CL transitions are believed to be driven by the changes in the accretion rate. Despite the complexities in interpreting these events, the rapid variability of CLAGNs offers a unique opportunity to investigate the dynamics of the inner accretion flow on unprecedented short timescales. This talk will explore the opportunities and challenges of multiwavelength investigations of CL AGNs, highlighting recent discoveries, future prospects, and their implications for understanding the dynamic nature of black hole accretion.
