Can’t read the pictures, could I have you send them to me full page size?

Thanks for the reply Sandra. So everything is just recorded once per visit.

I’m looking foward to the path analysis blog!

Hi Andrew! Thanks for the question.

S, this report works on visits, not on page views. So, since visit C is still the same visit, it won’t matter if it repeats the same steps. It’s still the exact same visit, so it won’t double the numbers.

Thanks this has helped me a lot but I have a question that would be great to get an answer…

What would happen if Visit C then went back and repeated the same actions exactly? Would everything then count double where step 3 was involved? So there’d be 2 visits from product page to cart and and 2 from cart add to started checkout?

Excellent, thank you both! I now know that the one that has always caught me out is the one in the centre – those that go DIRECTLY from step to step. In the documentation this is only explained in the Step Transition section, but this comes second rather than first as you have. I prefer your sequence!
