Grid view
Flip the canvas into a spreadsheet-style grid to scan, sort, and synthesise across the whole project.
Grid view shows your project's content as structured tabs of rows and columns — the same data as the canvas, in a shape built for scanning rather than spatial thinking.
Switching views
Use the view toggle in the top bar to flip between Canvas and Grid. Nothing is duplicated: edits in either view act on the same underlying nodes.
What appears in the grid
Content is grouped into tabs by type — for example notes, tables and their rows, personas, journeys, todos, and tagged highlights. You can reorder tabs and hide the ones you don't need; Crux remembers your arrangement per project.
When to use grid vs canvas
- Grid — reviewing many items of the same kind (all highlights with a given tag, every persona field side by side), auditing completeness, bulk reading.
- Canvas — building relationships, tracing evidence to conclusions, presenting the shape of an argument.
Most synthesis sessions bounce between both: find the gap in the grid, fix the thinking on the canvas.
