#### **Step 3: Collect the Data**

You have two options:

- Invite Your [Own Participants](https://support.realeye.io/own-testers?hsLang=en) – share the participation link with your users.
- Invite [RealEye Panelists](https://support.realeye.io/realeye-panelists?hsLang=en) – order participants based on demographic filters (age, gender, location, etc.) with the help of RealEye

Depending on your [License Type](https://support.realeye.io/realeye-pricing?hsLang=en), there are different participants limits. But no worries! You can add more participants anytime you need to: [How to Add More Participants to a Study](https://support.realeye.io/adding-testers-to-running-study?hsLang=en).

#### **Step 4: Analyze the Results**

Once data is collected, it is automatically saved to the database and ready for analysis. To begin:

1. Navigate to the **Results** tab of your study
2. Explore the following features: 
     - [**Heatmaps**](https://support.realeye.io/how-to-analyze-heatmaps?hsLang=en) - visualize aggregated gaze / fixation data
     - [**Recordings & Scanpaths**](https://support.realeye.io/what-are-recordings?hsLang=en) - review individual sessions to understand navigation patterns
     - **[Areas Of Interest (AOI)](https://support.realeye.io/what-is-aoi?hsLang=en)** - define specific regions to calculate eye-tracking metrics
3. (*If your license includes this feature)  *[Export your data to CSV files](https://support.realeye.io/data-export-all-csv-files-available?hsLang=en) for further analysis in external tools
4. Use built-in tools to compare AOIs, analyse survey questions, and **gain insights into user visual behavior**!
