# How to Use Deck Analytics and Collect Leads in Decktopus

See who viewed your shared deck, which slides held attention, and what viewers reacted to or commented on. Collect leads with Decktopus Email Gate.

Deck Analytics lets you track exactly how viewers engage with your shared presentations. See who opened your deck, how long they spent, which slides held their attention, where they dropped off, and what they reacted to or commented on. You can also turn on Email Gate to collect viewer emails and make every shared link a lead generation tool.

Analytics works on decks you create in Decktopus and on [decks you import](https://help.decktopus.com/en/articles/150-how-to-import-a-presentation-and-track-it.md) as PDF, PPTX or HTML.

Available on [Pro and Business plans](https://help.decktopus.com/en/articles/1-decktopus-ai-pro-vs-business-plan-what-s-the-difference.md).

**How to Access**

You can open Deck Analytics in two ways: from the [**Share**](https://help.decktopus.com/en/articles/136-how-to-share-a-presentation-with-a-live-link-in-decktopus.md) modal on any deck, or from the deck’s **Analytics** view on the dashboard.

The Analytics view has three tabs: **Viewers**, **Slides** (called **Cards** for [carousels](https://help.decktopus.com/en/articles/132-how-to-create-a-carousel-with-decktopus-ai.md)) and **Feedback**.

**Viewers Tab**

At the top, you see three summary metrics: **Unique Viewers**, **Total Visits**, and **Avg. Time / Visit**.

Below that, the **Viewing Activity** chart shows visits over time with a percentage change compared to the previous period.

Further down, a searchable table lists each viewer with the following details:

-   Location
    
-   Device
    
-   Browser
    
-   Source link (which share link they used)
    
-   Number of visits
    
-   Total time spent
    
-   Last seen
    

Click a viewer to see each of their visits slide by slide: how long they spent on each slide and the slide where they left.

**Filtering**

You can filter the data by:

-   **Link**: all links or a specific share link
    
-   **Date range**: a custom time period
    
-   **Since last edit**: turn this on to see only activity after your most recent change
    

**Slides Tab (Cards for carousels)**

The **Attention Heatmap** is a grid showing how long each viewer spent on each slide, so you can see exactly which slides each viewer spent time on.

Below that, the **Slide Funnel** shows:

-   **Reach** — the percentage of visits that saw each slide
    
-   **Average dwell time** per slide
    
-   The slide with the **biggest drop-off** is flagged automatically
    

This helps you identify where viewers lose interest and which slides need improvement.

**Feedback Tab**

Viewers can react with an emoji or leave a comment on any slide of your shared deck. They don’t need an account.

_What your viewers see:_ two buttons in the bottom bar of the shared deck, next to the slide counter.

-   The **smiley icon** opens a reaction bar: 👌 ❤ 👍 👀 😉
    
-   The **speech bubble icon** opens a **Comments** panel, where viewers type in the “Leave a comment on this slide” box and click send

_What you see in the Feedback tab:_

-   **Filter by card**: a row of slide thumbnails plus **All cards**. Each one shows its reaction and comment count. Click a thumbnail to see only that slide’s feedback.
    
-   **Link filter**: show feedback from all links or from one specific share link.
    
-   **Reactions / Comments**: switch between the two lists. Each comment shows the viewer’s name (or **Anonymous #1**, **Anonymous #2**, and so on if they didn’t identify themselves), the slide it was left on, the date and the comment text.

**Email Gate (Lead Collection)**

When enabled, viewers must enter their email address before they can access the shared deck. This turns every shared link into a lead generation tool.

Collected emails appear in the Viewers tab alongside all engagement data — location, device, browser, visits, total time, and last seen — so you can see not just who your leads are, but exactly how they engaged with your content.
