What if I have no research yet?

Crux suggests findings from a built-in library of UX principles, so a design can still show its reasoning. Add your own research when you have it.

What kinds of research can I bring in?

Interview recordings, notes, surveys, spreadsheets and documents, and research kept in Notion, Confluence, Jira or Dovetail.

Yes. Linking research to your own prototype is on every plan. Inviting people to see it needs Starter, Pro or Team.

Link what you learned to the parts of the page it shaped. Anyone reviewing clicks a part and sees the finding, and the quotes, behind it.

Each part of the page shows the finding and quotes behind it.

1
Bring your research in
Add interviews, notes, surveys and data, and highlight what people said. Each highlight keeps its source.
2
Turn highlights into findings
A finding says what you learned, and rests on the highlights behind it.
3
Feature a finding on a component
On the prototype, inspect a component and pick a finding. Crux suggests ones that fit, from your research and from UX principles.
4
Ask Crux
Type a question, such as “Why do shoppers leave at the basket?” Crux answers from your research and lists its sources.

The Crux connector adds one toolbar to any prototype.
