Notebooks

Where the program becomes a shared plan

A notebook is a live, multiplayer canvas your team writes in together. You pull findings, tests, and charts straight in, talk through the roadmap, and share the result with a client, so the work stops living in one person's head.

Built from your own audit. No setup.

Q3 checkout review

Checkout is where we are losing the most revenue

The audit ranked friction as the lowest-scoring stage of the funnel. Two of the three blockers sit in checkout, so this is where the next round of tests should focus. The embedded finding below is the one to start with.

Checkout forces shoppers to create an account before paying

Friction stage, ranked first by revenue impact. Turning on guest checkout is the recommended fix.

For context, here is the stage health that the finding rolls up into. Devon is pulling the recording clips into the next section.

Embedded live, so it stays current as new tests land.

Everyone in the same room

Open it together, edit it at the same time

A notebook syncs in real time. When a teammate moves a block or selects one, you see their cursor and a colored ring around what they are touching, so two people can plan the same roadmap without stepping on each other or trading screenshots.

  • Live presence

    A row of avatars shows who is in the notebook right now. Each person gets their own color the moment they join.

  • Cursors and selections

    Selections light up with the other person's color, so you can watch a teammate work through a stage as it happens.

  • Always in sync

    Positions, comments, and votes flow between everyone connected, and the canvas keeps its state if someone drops off and rejoins.

Blocks that stay live

Drop the work straight into the page

Every block on a notebook is wired to the underlying record, so a finding keeps its severity, an idea keeps its impact score, and a test keeps its result. When the data behind a block changes, the block updates with it instead of going stale like a pasted screenshot.

Finding

Account wall before checkout

A gap from the audit, with its severity and recommended fix attached.

Opportunity

Reduce checkout friction

A grouped set of findings and the ideas that ladder up to it.

Idea

Enable guest checkout

A hypothesis with its impact score, ready to promote into a test.

Test result

Guest checkout, declared winner

The live experiment and the result Spar measured and declared.

Recording or file

Session clip, drag-and-drop

A Clarity recording, a screenshot, or any file pinned next to the work.

Comment

Thread on any block

Discussion stays attached to the exact block it is about.

Chart or score

Friction stage health

Stage scores and benchmark charts embed the same way. They read live from your store, so the number in the write-up is the number on the board.

Start tests from the canvas

The notebook is where the next test gets made

Right on the canvas, you group findings into an opportunity, have Spar draft hypotheses to test, and promote the one you pick into a live experiment or a shipped fix, so the plan turns into work without leaving the page.

01

Create an opportunity

Spin up an opportunity right on the canvas and gather the related findings under it, so the work is organized around an outcome instead of a loose list of issues.

02

Generate the ideas

Open the opportunity and have Spar draft hypotheses to test, or add your own. Each idea lands with an impact score, so you know which one to run first.

03

Promote to a test or a fix

Send the idea you pick live as an A/B test Spar measures and declares, or ship it straight as a fix. Either way it leaves the notebook as real work.

Bring the client in

One link tells the whole story

When the plan is ready, generate a share link and send the notebook to a stakeholder or a client. They see the same findings, ideas, and results the team does, with a note from you at the top. Lock any block you want to keep internal.

  • A read-only view, scoped by you

    Sharing publishes the blocks you choose. Hide the ones that are still rough, and the viewer never sees them.

  • Open a feedback round

    Turn on feedback and the people you share with can vote, approve, and comment. Set an auto-close date so it wraps on its own.

  • Decisions land back on the board

    Votes and approvals come back into the notebook, so the roadmap reflects what the team and the client actually agreed on.
