I will summarize findings from the past ten years of high resolution X-ray spectroscopy of AGN using Chandra and XMM-Newton, concentrating on the energy range from 0.1 to 1.0 keV. The main scientific findings concentrate in three broad categories: 1) measuring photoexcited gas at mild outflow or transverse speeds via absorption, 2) tracking photoexcited gas in emission outside the nucleus, and 3) probing the inner accretion disk via relativistically broadened emission lines. I will show how these studies may be advanced with new observations at high resolution and improved effective area.
