Bring your favorite tools to Condens

In some cases, including a report, prototype, or graph from another app you use every day directly into your Condens Artifact can make a big difference in demonstrating the value of your insights to your teammates and stakeholders. On the other hand, if you're working with large datasets that Condens may not fully cover, it's always helpful to have some flexibility.

No matter the situation, being able to bring in content from different websites and apps can boost your Artifacts. That's why we've introduced the capability to embed Figma, FigJam, Maze, Miro, MURAL, YouTube, Tableau, AirTable, Datawrapper, and other external apps and websites into any Condens Session, Artifact, Project description, or Whiteboard. Imagine having a Figma prototype side by side with your insights about the product interface, or a Maze report from your latest usability testing study right under your user workflow findings. You can now simply paste a direct link to your supplementary data and effortlessly enhance the depth of your research.

Some websites or apps may require an additional activation step before you can embed their content, while others may only permit the embedding of publicly shared content. For detailed information, please check out our articles in the help center.

Manage access permissions for your Projects

Think about a situation where you're working with your product team or a research freelancer on important or confidential Projects. To make collaboration easy and keep your data safe, you now get to decide who can see which parts of a Project.

By default, all Researchers and Full-Access Stakeholders in Condens have access to new Projects.

Our Project-based access permissions give you practical control over who can access your Project and its raw data. Whether it's individual users or entire roles, you decide. Specify who can access Sessions, recordings, and Highlights, or only limit it to Published Artifacts. You can learn more about it here.

If you need to manage access for many Projects at once, use bulk selection to adjust permissions across various projects.
