Page access and element tracking

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

The Composer has separate controls to restrict who can read a page and to record events. Neither is a substitute for publishing and reviewing the page itself.

Choose who can read the content

Open the page you want to change in the Composer. If its content type has no access field yet, an Admin must make the first access change. After that, your usual page-editing rights apply.

1. Choose Access, beside Layout, in the page toolbar.
2. Read Who can read this.
3. Choose Public, Members only or In a package.
4. If you chose In a package, pick the package in the chooser.

The change is saved to the page draft: visitors keep the current access until you publish the page. Choosing a package also puts the page in that package; you can undo either change.

After you publish, check the page as a member and as a signed out visitor. Without a Members-only boundary, readers without access see none of the page; add one from + Add section to show a free part first. Embedded files have their own access in the media library. A file previously made public or a download already taken is not recalled by changing the article’s access.

If the site’s access check cannot be read, affected lists can still show titles but leave out summaries, including summaries of public entries. Feeds leave out their text too. These incomplete replies are not kept as shared cached pages.

Track an element

1. Select a section or element on the canvas.
2. Choose Track in its floating toolbar.
3. Choose the event you want recorded.
4. Review its target.

For an action saved with this page:

1. Choose Save to page draft.
2. Publish the page when that action should be public.

For a rule that finds elements by their CSS selectors, which identify matching page elements:

1. Review the action that triggers the rule.
2. Review the elements it matches.
3. Check whether it applies to this page, addresses beginning with the same path or all pages.
4. Apply it through its approval.

A rule that records a click, submission, appearance on screen or hover needs a target element. Hover records a mouse or pen resting on the element for half a second, once per element in a page view. A touch tap does not count. Analytics consent still controls captured events. Defining an event does not make a site action send it automatically.

Use Scripts and events for authored JavaScript and the trigger reference. Use the event catalog for the recorded event names.
