=== Purpose
This task is about analyzing how people are engaging with the new Replying tool to:
**Help answer these questions:**
1. Are people are having success using the feature?
2. Are people using the tool in ways that negatively impact the experience of others?
**So we can decide:**
What – if any – changes should be made to the workflow before deploying the feature to more people and with it, beginning an A/B to determine its impact?
=== Workflow engagement metrics
//This section is still being drafted. Once complete, it will continue the information needed make the two decisions listed above.//
**META**
- For each metric, we'd like to see a breakdown by wiki where the Reply Tool is currently deployed. //You can see where and how the Reply Tool is deployed here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project#Active_initiatives .//
- "Experience level": we'd like to see experience level expressed using the following buckets:
-- 0 cumulative edits
-- 1-4 cumulative edits
-- 5-99 cumulative edits
-- 100-999 cumulative edits
-- 1000+ cumulative edits

=== Open questions
- [ - [x] How long after v2.0 is released should this analysis happen?
-- This analysis is scheduled to begin the week of 2-November per T263050#6565226.
- [x] Is new information required to know what text input mode (`source` or `visual`) a user is when they take a certain action (e.g. switching text input modes, abandoning/publishing a comment)?
-- No. For any event in EditAttemptStep we will be able to know what editing input mode (source or visual) the user was in when they took the action.
-- Caveat: the switching event (between source and visual) has not yet been implemented. //See: T247139#6114499//.
=== Done
