Reconstructing a recorded browsing journey

Reconstruction of a person’s journey through a website or app from recorded elements, such as pages, clicks, scrolling or input, depending on the tool and its settings. Some web tools rebuild the page from structured events. Actual collection, masking and access to recordings depend on the implementation.
