Share Statistics
Overview
clarife tracks view counts for every shared document. The statistics give you a basic understanding of how your content is performing and whether your audience is engaging with it.
Viewing Statistics
- Open the Share panel - In the editor, click Share for a document that has an active share link.
- Check the view count - The total number of views is displayed in the share panel. Each time a visitor loads the shared document, the counter increments.
What Is Tracked
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total views | Number of times the shared document was loaded by visitors |
How Views Are Counted
- Each page load counts as one view.
- Refreshing the page increments the counter.
- Views from the document owner (you) are also counted.
- Views through embeds (iframe, widget, popup) are counted the same way as direct link visits.
Use Cases
- Measure interest - see if your tutorial or guide is getting traction.
- Justify upgrades - high view counts can justify upgrading to a paid plan for additional sharing features.
- Track distribution - after sending a link to a group, check whether they actually opened it.
Can I see who viewed my document?
No. Statistics show aggregate numbers only - the total view count plus unique visitors counted by hashed IP. clarife does not reveal any visitor identity or a list of who viewed. The email gate lets you restrict access to people who confirm an address, but it likewise does not show the owner who specifically viewed the document.
Are my own views counted?
Yes. Currently there is no distinction between your views and visitor views in the statistics.
Can I reset the view count?
There is no manual reset option. If you delete and re-create the share link, the counter starts from zero with the new link.
Are embed views tracked separately?
No. All views - whether from direct links or embeds - are counted together in the same total.
