What is UX documentation?

UX documentation comes in all shapes and sizes depending on the designer and organisation.
Think of it as the most thorough version of a case study, but with the goal of making sure that if a new person joins the project, they can understand what you’re working on and why.
It covers everything—meeting notes, task organization, prioritization, design presentations, feedback, and more.

How to practice UX documentation

The best way to practice is to document as you go.
There’s no magic formula, as long as someone can read your documentation and clearly understand what you're doing, you're on the right track.
