# Guide insights

> See how viewers engage with a published guide.

Guide insights show how people interact with one guide. Use them to find weak openings, confusing steps, and guides that are working well.

## What you will see

| Metric | What it tells you |
| - | - |
| Views | How many people opened the guide. |
| Play rate | How often viewers started watching after opening the guide. |
| Completions | How often viewers reached the end. |
| Play time | How much time viewers spent with the guide. |

## Step-by-step views

Insights include viewers of both [view modes](/sharing/share-link#view-modes). For step-by-step
guides, a play starts when the viewer begins scrolling, and a step counts as reached once the
viewer scrolls to it.

## Step dropoff

The dropoff chart shows where viewers stop watching. Use it to decide what to improve first.

If many viewers leave near the beginning, shorten the intro and get to the first action faster.

If viewers leave in the middle, check the surrounding steps for unclear wording, missing context, or too much detail.

## Improve the guide

* If play rate is low, make the title, placement, or opening promise clearer.
* If viewers leave early, remove setup detail and move the first useful action earlier.
* If viewers leave mid-guide, split the workflow or simplify the surrounding steps.
* If completion is strong, reuse the guide as a model for similar workflows.
