Compare your results with the previous date range.

Download your data as an image, PDF, or EXCEL file.

Disable a specific page from the chart by clicking on it. This can help you better analyze the data. 👌

Or, use the zoom-in function. 🙂

Graph Info

  • Current – the data for the date range you set

  • Share – proportional percentage for the specific graph

  • Previous – results in the previous period (in this case, would be the previous date range – for example, the date range is half a year, previous is the other half of the year)

  • Difference – the current data compared to the previous data

Data History

ZoomSphere shows data for external and connected profiles accordingly:

Instagram: 2 years or 250 posts

LinkedIn: unsupported

Facebook: 2 years

Instagram: 2 years or 250 posts

This applies to external profiles in the Analytics app.


Followers Trend graph

The Fan's Trend data are being collected daily from the moment the social profile has been connected to ZoomSphere.


That means ZoomSphere cannot show Followers' data retroactively due to API limitations.

You can see when the social profiles were connected to ZoomSphere as the data are collected from that moment.
