Analytics overview
Analytics shows what happens after you share a link: how many people opened it, how far they read, where they stopped watching, and where they came from. You see totals and patterns, never who someone is.
Open Analytics in the sidebar, or go to markdrop.in/dashboard/analytics. You need to be signed in, and you see analytics only for things you own.
The home board
#The home board covers everything you've published.
| Tile | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Views | Times your links were opened, across all of them. |
| People | Distinct visitors. |
| Watch time | Time spent playing your videos and audio. |
| Read to the end | Share of reading sessions on documents and PDFs that reached the end. |
Below the tiles:
- Your links lists each link with its views, a trend line, how engaged people were, and the last view. A green dot means someone is on it now.
- Worth a look points out things that stand out, like where people stop watching. Insights appear once your links have about 20 visits.
Choose the period with the range picker: 7 days, 30 days (the default), 90 days or All time. Each number is compared with the period of the same length right before it, like "+12% vs previous 30 days". Days run in UTC.
Choose CSV to download the numbers for the period.
One link in detail
#Choose a link in Your links to open its own page. You can also open the menu on any item you own and choose Analytics.
The tabs depend on what the link is:
| Kind | Tabs |
|---|---|
| Document | Overview, Content, Audience |
| Overview, Pages, Audience | |
| Video | Overview, Video, Audience |
| Audio | Overview, Listening, Audience |
| Other files | Overview, Audience |
Files you've replaced with a new version also get a Versions tab that compares them.
- Overview has the headline numbers for that kind, Views per day, Where views come from, and What stands out.
- Audience shows New and returning visitors, Devices, Countries, Channels, Share signals (times an app showed a preview of your link) and Campaigns.
The other tabs are covered in Documents and PDFs and Video and audio.

#Ask your AI assistant
#If you've connected an AI assistant to Markdrop, it can read these numbers too, for example: "Where do readers drop off in my getting-started guide? Rewrite that section." See AI tools.
