UXtweak Research Blocks

UXtweak research blocks allow you to embed study data directly into your Insight. Instead of taking screenshots, copying tables, or transcribing video clips, these blocks bring evidence into the document in a structured and reusable form.

They are designed for research synthesis, reporting, and stakeholder communication.

The following UXtweak blocks are available:

• Participant block
• Participant list
• Highlight block
• Highlight list
• Reel block
• Reel list

Each block has specific data, layout rules, and formatting actions.

Participant Block 

Participant blocks allow you to focus on a single participant and their session artifacts. They are often used to illustrate behaviors, motivations, or pain points through the lens of an individual.

This block is useful during qualitative synthesis, persona development, or when creating narrative cases that demonstrate how different users interact with a product.

The participant block includes:

• Video player
• Participant name
• Rating
• Email
• Collaborators on the recording/interview
• Brief summary

Layout Options 

The block can be displayed in two modes:

• Landscape – Standard layout
• Portrait – Larger, more prominent video

Interaction Behavior 

When the participant video is playing and you scroll, the video snaps to the bottom‑right corner of the editor. This supports reviewing footage while continuing to read or write.

Block Actions 

Below the generic actions, the participant block provides toggles for:

• Show participant name
• Show rating
• Show email
• Show collaborators
• Show summary
• Show video

Participant List Block 

The participant list block displays multiple participants in a table format. It includes the following columns:

• Participant video
• Participant (name, email, rating)
• Collaborators
• Summary

Use participant lists when you want to compare multiple interviewees or test participants side by side, summarize findings across sessions, or highlight patterns in attitudes or behaviors.

Selection & Filtering 

When inserting the block, a modal lets you choose which participants to include. You can select one or more participants. Filtering options are available within the modal.

Block Actions 

Contextual actions include:

• Show participant
• Show collaborators
• Show summary
• Edit participant selection

“Edit participant selection” reopens the modal.

Highlight Block 

Highlights let you surface specific moments from participant recordings that support a finding, theme, or observation. They help connect the reasoning behind an Insight to direct evidence without attaching entire sessions.

A highlight contains:

• Video clip
• Highlight name
• Time span
• Highlight text

Block Actions 

Similar to participant blocks, contextual toggles allow you to show or hide details based on reporting needs.

Highlight List Block 

The highlight list block displays multiple highlights in a table format. It includes:

• Highlight video
• Participant
• Highlight text

This view is useful when synthesizing patterns across sessions.

Reel Block 

Reels combine multiple recorded clips into a single sequence. They are useful for demonstrating behavioral patterns, presenting key findings to stakeholders, or creating a more narrative form of evidence from raw research sessions.

A reel contains:

• Video sequence
• Reel name
• Rating
• Description

Block Actions 

Contextual actions allow showing or hiding details similar to participant and highlight blocks.

Reel List Block 

The reel list block displays multiple reels in a table format for quick comparison. This view is useful when reviewing patterns across sessions or preparing content for presentations.

It includes:

• Reel video
• Reel name (with rating)
• Reel description

This format supports stakeholder‑friendly review of evidence and helps teams compare results across multiple reels.

UXtweak research blocks make it possible to blend narrative explanations with actual evidence, reducing context switching during synthesis and preventing information loss in reports.
