Share Analytics in Quixli

Creating great content is only half the story — understanding how people interact with that content is equally important. Quixli's share analytics give you visibility into who views your shared pages and collections, how long they engage, where they come from, and which content resonates most. This data helps you optimize your documentation, track whether important documents have been read, and measure the effectiveness of your content strategy.

Accessing Analytics

Analytics are available for any page or collection that has been shared (public link, email share, or team share):

1. Open the page or collection you want to analyze

2. Click the "Share" button in the top-right corner

3. Click "View Analytics" at the bottom of the share panel

The analytics dashboard opens in a panel showing all available metrics for the selected time period.

Available Metrics

Quixli tracks several categories of engagement data:

View Metrics

• Total Views: The total number of times the page has been accessed, including repeat visits from the same person

• Unique Visitors: The number of distinct people who viewed the page. For email shares, this is tied to the recipient's email; for public links, it's based on browser fingerprinting

• Views Over Time: A line chart showing daily view counts, helping you identify trends and spikes in readership

Engagement Metrics

• Average Time on Page: How long visitors spend reading the page. This helps you gauge whether people are actually reading the content or just glancing at it

• Scroll Depth: How far down the page visitors scroll on average. A low scroll depth on a long page might indicate that readers lose interest partway through

• Completion Rate: The percentage of visitors who reach the bottom of the page — a strong signal of content quality and relevance

Audience Metrics

• Geographic Distribution: A map showing where your viewers are located, based on IP geolocation. Useful for understanding your audience's geographic spread

• Device Breakdown: The split between desktop, tablet, and mobile viewers. This informs whether you need to optimize for mobile reading experiences

• Referral Sources: How people found your page — direct link, search engine, social media, or embedded link on another website

Using Analytics Effectively

Raw numbers are useful, but the real value comes from acting on insights. Here are practical ways to use your analytics data:

Identify Popular Content

Pages with high view counts and long reading times are your best content. Consider expanding these pages, creating related content, or featuring them prominently in your navigation. Conversely, pages with low views might need better discoverability — update their titles, add them to relevant collections, or link to them from popular pages.

Measure Document Completion

For critical documents like onboarding guides or compliance training, scroll depth and completion rate tell you whether people are actually reading the entire document. If completion rates are low, the content might be too long, poorly structured, or lacking engaging elements.

Track Review Status

When you share a proposal or report via email, view tracking tells you exactly when (and whether) the recipient opened it. This is invaluable for follow-up timing — you can reach out after they've had time to read, rather than guessing.

Optimize Publishing Schedule

The "Views Over Time" chart reveals when your audience is most active. If your documentation gets the most traffic on Tuesday mornings, schedule content updates and announcements accordingly.

Analytics for Collections

Collection analytics aggregate data across all pages in the collection, giving you a bird's-eye view:

• Most viewed pages: A ranked list of pages by view count, showing where readers spend the most time

• Navigation flow: The most common paths readers take through your collection — which page they start on, where they go next, and where they drop off

• Collection-wide metrics: Total views, unique visitors, and average engagement time across the entire collection

Best Practices

• Review analytics weekly: Set a recurring reminder to check your content analytics. Weekly reviews help you catch trends early and respond to changes in readership

• Compare before and after: When you update content, compare the analytics from before and after the update to measure the impact of your changes

• Use analytics to prioritize updates: Focus your content improvement efforts on pages with high traffic but low engagement (short reading time, low scroll depth)

• Share insights with your team: If you're managing a team knowledge base, share analytics summaries with content contributors to motivate and guide their writing
