Monarch ships with sharing buttons and a stats screen that shows top-shared posts and a network breakdown, but the underlying data lives as postmeta keys (et_social_facebook_total, et_social_twitter_total, et_social_linkedin_total, et_social_pinterest_total) on each post. The default Stats panel surfaces top performers in aggregate; getting the same data sliced by post type, by author, or by date range means digging into the meta keys yourself.

SleekView reads the et_social_* meta keys directly and pivots them into named columns next to standard post columns (title, author, date, post type). One row per post, one column per network, plus a derived Total Shares column for sorting. Network mix becomes a glance: a post with 4,200 Pinterest shares and 38 Twitter shares looks very different from one with 320 of each, and that signal drives editorial decisions Monarch's default UI doesn't expose.

The Cache State column is the honest part. Monarch refreshes share counts on a configurable interval and the meta value at any moment reflects the last successful refresh. SleekView tags rows by last-update timestamp so editorial knows whether a viral post's count is current or 12 hours stale before screenshotting it for a campaign report.

Share counts are a leading indicator of which content earned distribution and a lagging indicator of which networks the audience actually uses. Monarch captures both: per-post share counts per network, refreshed on a schedule, sitting as postmeta keys on every published post. The default Stats panel turns that data into a top-N list, which is fine for spotting hits and useless for everything else editorial teams actually do.

Sorting by Pinterest alone, filtering by author and date, separating zero-share posts from low-share ones, exporting a 30-day cohort for the monthly report, none of those flows are first-class in the default UI even though the data is right there in postmeta. SleekView turns the meta keys into a grid: one column per network, a derived Total, a freshness flag, and the standard post columns alongside. The same data Monarch already collects becomes queryable as a sortable, filterable, exportable view, which is the difference between knowing a post did well and knowing what to do next about it.
