Viewing design analytics and insights
Design analytics let you see how many people have visited your design, including collaborators.
You can track engagement from people with edit or comment access, helping you understand how collaborators are interacting with your work.
View design analytics and insights
- Open the design you want to check. To see analytics, make sure you’ve already shared or embedded the design.
- From the top menu, select Analytics.
Metrics
A visit counts only when someone is actively viewing your design. If a tab is hidden or minimized, it’s not included. Reopening the tab starts a new visit.
You can view analytics in Analytics. If the design hasn’t been shared or viewed, no analytics are shown yet.
Analytics shows engagement for shared designs under Activity, and for view-only links or designs shared to social media or websites under External traffic.
These metrics are only available for Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva for Education, and Canva Nonprofits.
The Activity section includes visits and poll or quiz responses. External traffic shows visits from public links, social media, and websites.
Activity
See details like where visitors are located, what device they use, and their operating system. You can also track how many times someone revisited your design.
This section applies to designs shared with collaborators who have view, edit, or comment access.
