Posts & Engagement Reports

The Posts & Engagement section includes two types of data to help you understand both content performance and audience engagement trends.
  1. Lifetime data -  Lifetime data measures the total engagement a post receives from the moment it is published until today. For example, if you set your data range to May1 - 31, lifetime data shows the total engagement accumulated by posts published in May, even if some of those likes happened in June or July

  2. Time-Series Data - Time-series data measures the total engagement received during the selected date range, regardless of when the posts were published. This helps you understand engagement activity and trends over time.
    For example, if you select May 1–31, time-series data measures all engagement received in May, including engagement on posts published before May. This show how much engagement happened in May.
