The current visibility view

The current visibility view: the live current snapshot vs your trend history, and how each of them updates over time.

Current vs trend

Your dashboard shows two different things:

  • Current visibility is a live snapshot: the latest result we have for each of your prompts, right now. It answers "where do I stand today?"
  • The trend is your history over time: one point per full scheduled scan. It answers "am I improving?"

Keeping them separate means a quick check on one prompt does not distort your long-term trend.

How the current view updates

When you re-run a single prompt (see Refreshing a single prompt), the current view updates immediately to reflect the newer answer for that prompt. This is perfect for checking a specific change: edit a page, re-run the prompt it affects, and see the current view move.

Why the trend does not move on a single re-run

The trend line only advances on a full scan, where every prompt is measured together under the same conditions. A one-off re-run of a single prompt refreshes what you see now, but it does not add a point to the trend. That way your history stays consistent and comparable from one scan to the next.

Keeping current automatically

The simplest way to keep the current view fresh is scheduled monitoring: a scan on a cadence your plan allows keeps both the current snapshot and the trend up to date without any manual work. See Scheduling scans and email alerts.
