Clicking a reader’s name anywhere in Beanstack opens their profile in a drawer on the right side of your screen. Every profile starts with a reading “snapshot”—a brief quick summary and key data points that give you a full picture of their reading progress.
The buttons along the drawer’s left edge let you expand the profile to full screen, close the drawer, and copy a link that goes directly to the profile.
Accessing the Reader Profile
After logging into the admin view of your site, you can display a reader profile by clicking their name. These profiles can be shown in a few different places, including:
-
Classic Search: Click “People” on your dashboard (or go to People > Find a Person).

When you select an account creator with multiple reader profiles, you can easily navigate between all readers by using the left- and right-arrow buttons on the profile drawer’s left side.
-

-
Reader Reviews: Click “Content” on your dashboard (or go to Content > Reviews).
