Why it is useful
A design with its evidence beside it is far easier to agree to. Linking a finding to a part of the page answers “says who?” before it is asked, and when the research changes you can see which parts to look at again.
Link what you learned to the components and pages it affects, so the evidence sits on the prototype where people review it, and in Crux beside your research.
Step 1: Inspect a part of your prototype
On the prototype, click Inspect, then the part of the page your research is about. The pane shows what Crux knows about it.
Step 2: Add the finding behind it
Under Featured findings, click + and pick the finding. Crux lists the ones that fit this part first.
Step 3: Link the other parts it affects
Click the finding to open it. Under Also affects, Crux suggests other components and pages it changes. Click the ones that fit.
Step 4: See it in Crux
Open the finding in Crux. Affects lists the parts of the prototype you linked it to, beside the Evidence it rests on.
Tips
- A finding says what you learned, and rests on the research listed under Evidence.
- In Crux, Link to experience at the top of a finding that is not linked yet links it from that side too.
- To ask about a part of the page, type a question in the box at the foot of its pane. Crux answers from your research and lists its sources.
