Session replay is a powerful tool that allows you to gain a deeper understanding of user behaviour on your website. By capturing all logged user events such as mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and page navigation, session replay creates a detailed visual recording of a user's activity. This can provide valuable context when investigating reported bugs or analyzing user feedback.

If available on your plan, session replay can be enabled for each type of feedback submitted, giving you a replay of the user's activity leading up to and including the submission. This allows you to see bugs through the eyes of your users and understand the potential impact on your website's user experience.

To enable session replay for your feedback widget head to your projects Widget Settings and expand the Session Replay Card. Toggle on or off session replay for the types of feedback you are collecting.

Session replays can be quickly viewed depending on where you are within Userback.
