Collect Viewer Emails + Analytics

Of all five settings, Collect Viewer Emails is the one most worth your attention, because it changes a shared deck from a one-way broadcast into something you can actually measure.

When it's on, an anonymous viewer is asked for their email before the deck loads. That single step does two powerful things:

• You know who viewed your deck — instead of an anonymous view count, you get named viewers tied to real email addresses.
• You see their engagement data — that information flows straight into the Analytics section of the presentation, where you can see how people actually interacted with the deck (not just that they opened it).

For any team sharing decks externally (sales, customer success, partnerships, fundraising), this turns a sent link into a follow-up signal. You're no longer guessing whether the deck landed; you can see it.

Collect Viewer Emails is the bridge between "I sent the deck" and "here's who's interested." Turning it on as a team default means every shared deck quietly builds a follow-up list and an engagement record without anyone having to remember to switch it on. For customer-facing teams, this is often the single most valuable setting on the page: the email gate is what populates Analytics with named viewers and their behavior, so a rep can prioritize the prospect who actually spent time on the pricing slide. If your team lives in shared links, this is the one to champion.
