#Share Analytics

Know that the design is landing — without ever surveilling who's looking.

When you send a client a private share link, you want to know whether they actually opened it, how long they spent with it, and what they cared about. Share Analytics gives you that signal — aggregate and anonymous. Every EVT3D project has its own analytics dashboard with visitor counts, session lengths, a map of where views came from, traffic sources, and a breakdown of what people did while they were in the scene.

#What it does

• Per-project dashboard, from two places. Open the ⋮ menu on any project on your home page and pick Analytics — you don't have to load the 3D scene to read your numbers. The same dashboard is also the Analytics tab of the editor's Settings panel. No setup, no tracking pixels to install.
• Headline KPIs. Visitors, Sessions, Avg duration, and New (the share of sessions from first-time visitors) — all visible at the top.
• Timeline chart. Visitors over time shows visits rolling in by hour or by day across the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.
• Location map. A world map with one bubble per city, sized by how many visitors came from there — click a bubble for the exact counts. Older visits (recorded before per-city locations were captured) show as dashed rings on their country instead, so you can tell a precise pin from a rough one at a glance.
• Geography table. Top locations lists cities and countries by visitor count, with total and average time spent, derived from approximate IP geolocation (the IP itself is never saved with your analytics).
• Traffic sources. See where visitors came from — direct paste, LinkedIn, Instagram, search, other sites — split into Traffic sources — top domains and Traffic sources — by kind.
• Event breakdown. Events tallies what visitors did inside the scene: switched cameras, entered Chair View, focused on props, opened info bubbles, dropped in images.
• Per-link comparison table. If you have multiple share links on one project — Client A, Client B, internal team — Per share link shows them side by side so you can tell which link is getting attention.
• Filter by link or date range. Drill into a single share link or one of the four date ranges; everything on the page reflows.
• PDF report. Hit ⤓ PDF report for a landscape, client-ready document of exactly what you're looking at — same title-block footer as your spec-sheet packets, so it reads as part of the same set. It carries the KPIs, the timeline, locations with time spent, traffic sources, engagement and the per-link table, and it respects your current date range and link filter.

#How privacy works (this is the important part)

EVT3D's analytics are built on a strict no-PII model:

• No cookies. A visitor gets a random ID stored in their own browser — that's it.
• No stored IPs. The approximate city is looked up from the visitor's IP at the network edge; the IP itself is never saved with the analytics.
• No names, no emails. Share Mode has no login, so there's nothing to attach a name to.
• No image content. When a visitor drops an image into the scene, we log that it happened (how many files, what general type) — not the file, not the filename, not the image itself.
• Up-front notice. The first time a visitor opens a share link, they see a welcome screen with the project tutorial, a note that anonymous usage info is collected during the visit, and a Read more link to the details. In-scene events start only after they click OK, let's go.
• 180-day retention. Raw events roll off after six months.

The result is an aggregate engagement signal, not a surveillance log. You can tell that a link is getting traffic, that visitors are spending real time with it, and that they're exploring Chair View on the keynote stage — but you cannot see who opened it, when a specific person was in it, or what they typed. By design.

#How you use it

1. Send a share link. From your project's Share panel, create a link and send it. Label it ("Client A — round 2") in Save & Open → Viewer Links so it's easy to pick out later.
2. Wait for the visit. The recipient opens the link in any browser. They see a one-time welcome modal with a short tutorial and the anonymous-usage notice. Once they click OK, let's go, anonymous events start flowing.
3. Open Analytics. Fastest route: the ⋮ menu on the project's tile or row on your home page → Analytics. (Already in the scene? It's the Analytics tab of the editor's Settings panel.) Pick your date range (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d) and either All share links or one specific link.
4. Read the room. Check the KPI cards at the top — did anyone visit? How long did they stay? Scroll down for the timeline chart, the location map, the city breakdown, and the traffic-source table.
5. Compare links. If you've sent multiple links for the same project, the Per share link table shows you which one is getting opened, how many sessions each has, and how long visitors stay. Pick one link in the filter to see the events for just that link.
6. Pause a link. If a link is getting unexpected traffic, you can pause it from the Share panel — visitors to a paused link see a "That link isn’t available" screen, but it stays listed for you so you can resume it later.
7. Export it. Set the range and link filter you want, then ⤓ PDF report — landscape, branded, and ready to drop into a recap deck or attach to an email.

#What it tells you in practice

• "My client opened the link three times this week." (Sessions climb while Visitors holds steady.)
• "They spent nine minutes the second time." (Average session length jumps.)
• "They explored Chair View." (Event breakdown shows chair-view entries.)
• "They sent it to someone in London." (A new bubble appears on the map.)
• "Most of the traffic came from a LinkedIn post, not direct." (Referrer table shifts.)

What it won't tell you: which individual person opened the link, when, from what specific IP, or what they specifically clicked. That's the deliberate trade — useful signal without crossing into tracking individual humans.

#Why it matters

A client reviewing a design used to be a black box. You'd send a PDF deck, ask "did you get a chance to look?" three days later, and guess. With share analytics, you can tell that the design is being reviewed and what's resonating — without ever putting a tracker on your client.
