Reader Feedback
Doctave includes a reader feedback widget on every page of your documentation site. It lets your readers inform you of issues directly in the docs.

Feedback widget
The feedback widget can be opened by the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons at the bottom of each page of your documentation.
Feedback is in the form of a positive or negative sentiment and it can include a comment from the reader.
Build previews don't have feedback collection enabled.
Accessing feedback
Your documentation feedback can be found from the dashboard's feedback page. From here, you can dig into each site's feedback.
Sentiment
Reader sentiment can be tracked on a week-by-week basis in the dashboard. Doctave saves the sentiment, version, what page was being accessed, and presents them to you visually.
Your documentation sentiment can be found under the sentiment tab.
Comments
Readers can leave comments as part of their feedback. You can access the comments under the comments tab.
