Doc Information & Insights

Do you need to know who’s viewed your doc, when it was last updated, or how it’s performing?
Slite makes it easy to track doc activity, contributors, and impact — here’s how.

Doc Information

To access Doc Information, hover over the top of your doc and click Verify this doc.

In the Doc Info part of the modal that appears, you'll see some information about the document:
  • its contributors (i.e. who made changes to the doc)
  • viewers (i.e. who read the doc at least once)
  • last edit (last time some changes were made to the doc)
What counts as an edit?
Slite only updates the last edit date (and adds an entry to the activity log) for meaningful changes — roughly 20 characters or more. Tiny tweaks, like fixing a typo or adjusting punctuation, won't move the last-edit date or mark you as a contributor. This keeps the activity log focused on real updates rather than every keystroke.

You'll also see some options related to doc verification.

Doc Insights

Let's say you wrote an important update and you want to verify if it has reached your audience.
You can access helpful insights on this by clicking See more insights from the menu shown above.
Alternatively, you can also see more insights by clicking the Information in the top right of your doc.

  • Author & contributors: details on who created the doc and who has made edits, along with the creation date and last edit date
  • Statistics: word and letter counts
  • This doc is mentioned in: a list of docs that contain a link to this one. It's useful to see how documents are connected, update links, or review linked content
  • Similar docs: a list of docs with similar content, ranked by semantic score. It's helpful for exploring a topic across your knowledge base.
  • Analytics: the number of views, edits, and public views
  • Doc history: view and restore previous versions of your ( ⁠⁠Document History⁠ )


Doc Views

On the analytics side, at the bottom of the modal, you can look at either the total number of visits for the doc, or unique visitors.
Hover over the blue bars to get the number of visits for each date.
You can do the same for edits and for public visits if you shared your document on the web ( ⁠⁠Public Sharing⁠ .)
Click Last 3 months to change the time frame. The options available are:
  • Last 2 weeks
  • Last 3 months
  • All time

Activity Log

On the right side of the doc insights modal you will find an activity log that shows:

  • when a comment has been added to the doc
  • when the doc has been verified ( ⁠⁠Doc Verification⁠ )

How to See Viewers on Docs
