Document Engagement Heatmaps
DocBeacon is not a page-level analytics tool. Document Heatmap reveals engagement across the actual sections inside your document—where attention concentrates, how long readers stay, and what gets scrolled past.
Section-Level Heatmap, Real Behavior Visibility
Unlike page-level metrics, DocBeacon maps behavior to your document’s own sections. You see real reading patterns at the structure that matters—chapters, subsections, and policy blocks defined in DocBeacon. Pair with Access Control to identify readers precisely.
Attention (Section Focus)
Identify hot spots where attention concentrates and cold zones that underperform, using overlays mapped to your sections.
Time on Section (Active Reading Time)
See sustained reading time and pause moments within sections—evidence of true consideration beyond overall page dwell.
Scroll Visibility (Seen vs. Skipped)
Understand what gets truly seen versus skimmed, including page completion and movement patterns between sections.
Aligned to Your Sections
Metrics are mapped to the sections you define in DocBeacon.
Actionable Updates
Prioritize edits where engagement is weak or misleading.
