The general methodology to detect and study solar-like surface inhomogeneities on stars is presented. The most significant observations and typical results are discussed with particular emphasis on the inferred physical characteristics of starspots and plages and differential rotation, as compared to solar values. On account of the present observation and modelling limits, the need for complementary photometry and spectroscopy with space-born instruments is stressed, as well as the scientific relevance of the so-called solar-stellar connection studies in today’s Astrophysics.
