Changes

This PR updates the heatmaps documentation to reflect the new capture method toggle added in PostHog/posthog#53593.

What's documented

  • Added a new "Capture method" subsection under "Viewing heatmaps in PostHog (beta)"
  • Documented the two capture methods available in the heatmap settings panel:
    • Screenshot – Generates a full-page screenshot (works even if your site blocks iframes)
    • Iframe – Loads your site directly in an iframe for a live view
  • Explained that users can switch between methods at any time and that PostHog automatically generates a screenshot when switching to screenshot mode

Why

Previously, users could only choose the capture method when initially creating a heatmap. The new toggle in the heatmap settings panel allows users to switch between Screenshot and Iframe capture methods after creation.
