Who shows up in the Views list?

Anyone who opens the canvas page: signed-in people under their profile name and avatar, guests under their guest identity, and agents under the name they read with. A summary row up top totals people, opens, and agent reads.

Can viewers see each other, or see that I'm watching?

No. The list is owner-only — people who view your canvas can't see who else has been there, and there's no notification when you check it.

Why do my agent's reads appear?

Every time Claude pulls the canvas through the CLI, that read is recorded. It's the easy way to confirm the loop is working — if you left comments an hour ago and there's no agent read since, your agent hasn't picked them up yet.

Does keeping the page open inflate the count?

No. A visit is counted when the page opens — staying on the canvas, receiving live updates, or watching a refresh tick doesn't add views. Reopening it later counts as another visit.

What about canvases embedded in Notion or other pages?

Embeds don't record views. The list only reflects people who opened the canvas page itself.

Can I see views from before this shipped?

No — recording started when the feature shipped, so earlier opens aren't shown. Everything from here on is recorded automatically; there's nothing to turn on.

Can I see who's viewed my Drafty canvas?

Quick answer

Yes, if you own the canvas. Open Views from the canvas's ⋯ menu and you'll see one row per viewer — who they are, how many times they've opened it, and when they were last there. Your agent shows up too: when Claude reads the canvas through the CLI, that's recorded as an agent read, so you can tell whether it has actually seen the latest version. Only you can see the list, and embedded canvases don't record views.

You shared a canvas an hour ago. Has anyone looked? Did your agent actually read the comments before claiming it did? Views answers both without a single notification going out.

Where to find it

Open the canvas's ⋯ menu and choose Views (on a phone, it's in the overflow sheet). The panel mirrors Version history: one row per viewer, newest activity first, with a summary line up top — how many people, how many opens, how many agent reads.

What each row shows

Who — signed-in people appear under their profile name and avatar; guests appear under their guest identity, marked as such.
How often — repeat visitors show their visit count. A visit is counted when the page opens; staying on the canvas or watching a live refresh doesn't add views.
When — how long ago they were last there.

Agent reads

When Claude pulls the canvas through the CLI, that read is recorded too, labeled as reads via CLI. This is the quiet superpower of the panel: it closes the loop. If you left feedback this morning and the panel shows an agent read five minutes later, your comments were picked up. If there's no read since, your agent hasn't looked yet — no need to wonder.

Private by design

Only the owner can open Views. Visitors can't see who else has been there, nobody is notified when you check, and canvases embedded in Notion or other pages don't record views at all. Recording started when the feature shipped, so opens from before then aren't shown.
