Breadcrumbs: Track, organize, and share your analyses

Complex analyses are difficult to track.

Amplitude's Breadcrumbs feature stores every step of your analysis in one place. Bookmark your chart, add a short note, and Breadcrumbs puts your analysis in an interactive notebook format that you can share with your team and other stakeholders.

With Breadcrumbs, you can:

Trace the path you took to get to an insight
Take notes as you go
Eliminate the need to retrace your steps before sharing results with the team
Preserve the context of your analysis, so you can pick up where you left off

Breadcrumbs works with any Amplitude chart type.

Breadcrumbs use cases

Workflow simplification: Transferring multiple charts and analyses into a notebook at the end of the process takes time. Breadcrumbs lets you build the notebook as you go.
Analysis history: Showing how a chart changed and how you reached its conclusion can help stakeholders understand the result. Notebooks can help with this, and Breadcrumbs makes the process more efficient.

Use Breadcrumbs to add charts to Notebooks

To add a chart to a notebook using Breadcrumbs, follow these steps:

Open Amplitude and build a chart. Breadcrumbs works with any chart type.
When your chart is ready, click More > Open Notebook View. Amplitude opens the Notebook panel on the right.
Click Add chart to notebook. A thumbnail of your chart appears in the Notebook panel.
Amplitude opens a new Notebook by default. To add your chart to an existing Notebook instead, click the dropdown next to the Notebook title and select the Notebook from the list.
In the thumbnail, click the title to edit it for the Notebook. Editing the Notebook title also changes the title of your main chart.
To add a note to accompany the chart in the Notebook, click Add Note.
To view and share the notebook, click the breadcrumb share icon. The Notebook view opens. Click Share to share the notebook with other team members. You can return to the Breadcrumb view using the Notebook toolbar.
