Tracking anonymous users on Mixpanel's Explore

Question

I understand I can attach an alias to a previously anonymously identified users, but how can I explore their behavior before they sign up? (they don't appear on Mixpanel's Explore until the identify API is called)

Thanks

The way to do it is to call mixpanel.identify() (with no args) when the app starts for the first time.

Then when the user registers you call alias and identify with your internal id.
