![Coveo for Sitecore Specific Rendering](c4sc-v5/sitecore-20-px-new.png)
This rendering duplicates Coveo-powered search interface analytics requests sent to the Coveo Usage Analytics service and sends the duplicate to the Sitecore Experience Profile endpoint.

## Usage notes

* Usage analytics are only sent to the Sitecore Experience Profile endpoint when viewing the published site.
Actions performed when viewing site pages in the **Experience Editor** or in **Preview Mode** aren't recorded in usage analytics.

* A few [manual steps](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2702/) are required to enable sending Coveo analytics events to Sitecore xConnect.

* You also need to add the [Coveo for Sitecore Analytics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2186/?c4scV5HiveType=tab-hive) rendering to your search interface to send analytics to Sitecore.

## Sample generated HTML and corresponding visual output

You add a **Coveo Send Analytics to Sitecore** rendering and a **Coveo for Sitecore Analytics** rendering to a Coveo-powered search page.
You configure their data sources as follows:


<div style="display: flex;justify-content: space-between;">
<div style="width:49%;">
  <div><img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/c4sc-v5/send-to-sitecore-data-source-config.png"  alt="Coveo Send Analytics to Sitecore component data source configuration with Sitecore Analytics endpoint field"/></div>
  <div class="figure-caption">
  <p>Coveo Send Analytics To Sitecore configuration</p>
  </div>
</div>
<div style="width:49%;">
  <div><img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/c4sc-v5/coveo-for-sitecore-data-source-config.png"  alt="Coveo for Sitecore analytics component data source with custom values for the Search Hub and Coveo Usage Analytics custom metadata fields"/></div>
  <div class="figure-caption">
  <p>Coveo for Sitecore Analytics configuration</p>
  </div>
</div>
</div>

A website visitor then opens your search page and performs a search query with `samsung` as the keyword.
