You can also select which information should be saved as document variables or added to the document memo. Web pages can be imported as PDF documents with their complete layout, simplified web pages, or PNG images.
Questions, Themes, Theories (QTT)
Your space for thoughts and analytical results
MAXQDA 2022 introduced a brand new and innovative workspace called QTT to gather important visualization, notes, segments, and other analytics results! QTT supports you during the analysis phase after coding and is the perfect tool to collect relevant insights and develop new theories.

You can now collect even more analytics findings in QTT worksheets. You can now collect diagrams and tables from features like subcode statistics or crosstabs. Send them directly to a QTT worksheets with one click and add relevant notes and insight for each table or diagram.
Insights Tab
All your insights in one place. The “Integration of Insights” tab in QTT has been extended to show all the insights written for any element within this worksheet.
