Building your research

The evidence layer end to end: what goes in the research graph, getting sources in, highlighting and labelling them, working an open item, and finding anything again.

01The research graphEvery kind of research item in Crux, how to filter the list, and how evidence connects into the experience graph.
02Uploading researchSupported file types including interview recordings, how parsing and indexing work, per-file and storage limits, and what to do when an upload is refused.
03Highlights & labellingHighlight passages in your sources and code them with a shared label library — by hand or with AI-proposed suggestions.
04Research tablesSpreadsheet-style artefacts with stable cell references, so Ask and the graphs can cite individual rows and cells.
05User testsPlan, run, and synthesise user tests in Crux, with AI-drafted discussion guides and results grounded in session notes.
06Search across your projectOne search box (⌘K) across research items, experience entities, file contents, and highlights — with a deeper semantic pass on demand.
07Filtering, sorting, and favouritesNarrow the Research and Experience lists by anything they carry, sort them how you think, and pin the items you keep coming back to — with your choices remembered.
08Working with an open itemThe detail pane — the properties rail, the three inline actions, the Graph panel and its provenance thread, and the overflow menu behind every item.
09Project knowledgeThe durable memory of your project — goals, constraints, decisions, and metrics that Ask and the agents read before answering.
10Change notes & historyRecord why a version of a research item, an experience entity, or a link between them changed — and what prompted the change.
11Usability scanScore a live page against a benchmark of cited usability checkpoints, and keep the findings in your research graph as evidence.
