fill in
Provide missing details
Fill in means to complete something by adding what's missing.
You fill in a form by writing in the blanks, fill in a hole by adding material, or fill in gaps in your knowledge by learning.
To fill someone in is to give them information they lack: Can you fill me in on what happened at the meeting?
A fill-in is a temporary substitute: She's just a fill-in until they hire someone permanent.
