How do I view resource statistics in Commons?
You can view resource statistics for content shared to Commons by users at your institution. Resource statistics include a link to the resource in Commons, resource author, author email address, approved content status, number of times the resource was favorited, number of times the resource was downloaded, and a link to the source file in Canvas.
Open Stats
In the Commons navigation menu, click the Admin drop-down menu [1]. Then, select the Stats option [2],
