## Overview

Live Polling shows the current click share for a Branch in your Content.

It updates when the image is fetched, so the value reflects that moment.

## How it works

| Item                        | Description                                                 |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Data Node                   | Returns the live percentage of clicks for its Branch.       |
| Unique clicks               | Each user's click counts once per Branch.                   |
| Calculation                 | Clicks on this Branch ÷ total clicks across the poll × 100. |
| Label in the Content Editor | Current (live) % of clicks.                                 |

## In the Content Editor

You add Live Polling through **Workflow → Live polling**.

The Live poll preset adds an image and a text component.

The text component binds to the live percentage and adds a percent sign.

## Good to know

<Warning>
  Some email clients pre-fetch or cache images. That can freeze the value at fetch time, not at the exact moment the recipient opens it.
