How to force your sample to be tracked in heatmaps & session recordings

Sometimes you might want to force the screenshot on a heatmap to make sure it's correct, or you might want to check the configuration on your session recording. If your sample rate isn't 100% there is a risk your activities won't be recorded.

To ensure your activities are included in the sample group you can append a URL parameter
?pk_hsr_forcesample=1 to the page you're visiting. The page still needs to follow the target rules you configured in your heatmap or session recording. 

www.example.com?pk_hsr_forcesample=1

If you instead want to prevent your activity to be recorded, you can change the URL parameter to ?pk_hsr_forcesample=0.
