# Active Users **What is it:** The number of unique users who have interacted with their application in the test environment, where your plugin is used within a given period. **Why it matters:** A high number of active users indicates strong adoption and engagement, helping you assess whether plugin buyers find ongoing value. Tracking plugin buyers can serve as a useful proxy for estimating engagement trends. **How is it calculated:** Count of unique users who have interacted with the app using your plugin at least once during the period. **Notes:** * This metric will work only if the provided code snippet is included into your plugin's shared headers. To copy a snippet, navigate to your plugins’s dashboard -> “Monitor User Engagement”. * You will start seeing activity once your users upgrade to the plugin version that includes the required code snippet. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
