# Engagement Tab

The **Engagement tab** gives leaders and managers a high-level view of learner engagement with content across their filtered audience – overall activity, how and where learners consume it, what's trending, and when the platform is busiest.

## How Much Engagement Are We Seeing?

The **Content engagement overview** section gives you a high-level summary of engagement with content across your filtered audience: total **Views**, **Likes**, **Comments**, **Shares**, and **Pins**.

## How Are Learners Consuming Content?

The **User learning behaviour** section shows your **Total time spent learning** and **Average time spent learning per user**, both in minutes, followed by three charts. **How are users consuming their learning?** shows the split between web and mobile app.

The leader board chart shows your top values for whichever measure you choose in the **Engagement metric** filter (e.g., **Average duration in minutes**) broken down by whichever attribute you choose in **Engagement - view by** (e.g., **User**). Change either filter to rank by a different measure (such as **Total activities**) or a different attribute (such as **Manager** or **Content type**) instead; the chart's title updates automatically to match your choice.

**How are views trending month on month?** shows the trend over time – select the calendar icon, then **Time bucket**, to switch between daily, weekly, or monthly.

## Where Do Learners Find Content, and What's Trending?

**How do learners find content?** shows total views broken down by source, such as search, notification, or homepage. Views where the source can't be identified are excluded. **What are the trending topics?** shows your top five content tags by activity across your filtered audience, excluding progressed activities. Use it to spot what's capturing interest and shape events or training around it. Click **Explore** to to open the chart in its own view, where you can filter, add, replace, or compare columns to adjust the breakdown.

## When Is the Platform Most Active?

The **Platform activity** heatmap shows total activity – views, likes, comments, shares, searches, pins, and completions – by day of the week and hour of day, with darker cells indicating higher activity. Times are shown in UTC.
