Navigation test sections
Navigation test sections help you analyze how people navigate through your website or application using a series of images to emulate an interaction flow.
When interacting with navigation sections, participants are asked to complete a particular task and are presented with your interface. At each step, the participant's click position and timing is recorded.The result is a funnel report showing how many users successfully clicked in the correct place at each step, where people dropped off, and direct explanations from every user who clicked somewhere unexpected.
Navigation tests are great for wireframes, app onboarding campaigns and checkout flows, to name a few.

Navigation Test Results
Results show you how many participants completed the flow, where they clicked, where they dropped out, and how long they took.
To show this information we use heatmaps, click clusters, success and failure rates, and duration.
