Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can explain what "Other events" means in a Flows report and how you can investigate further.The "Other events" category in a Flows report doesn't necessarily mean you're not tracking those events. According to the Flows documentation, Mixpanel by default displays only the top 3 intermediate events performed by users at each step, ordered by the number of users who performed them. The rest of the events are grouped into a single bar called "Other events".To find out what these "Other events" are and see more events in your Flows report, you can: 1. Right-click on the "Other events" node and select "Add a row of events". This will expand and show more of the less common events.2. Adjust the number of rows you want to see directly in the advanced settings of the Flows report.3. If you want to view all individual segments beyond the default limit, you can export a CSV of the report. The export will contain all events, including those bucketed into "Other events" in the UI, up to 10,000 segments.It's also worth noting that some events might be hidden in your project. You can check this in Lexicon, Mixpanel's data dictionary. Hidden events will be excluded from your query results, including "All Events" queries, and won't appear as intermediate steps in your Flows report.If you're still unsure about what events are included in "Other events", you might want to review your event tracking implementation to ensure you're capturing all relevant user actions. The Events report can also be helpful to see a full list of events being tracked in your project.
