Docs space

Wiki-style pages, versions, approvals, templates and permissions.

Docs-type boards give you a knowledge base that lives next to your work. Pages are organized hierarchically; each edit creates a new version, so rolling back is always possible.

Highlights

  • Page hierarchy + automatic table of contents (TOC)
  • Version history and one-click rollback
  • Serial or parallel approval chains
  • Built-in templates (Meeting Notes, PRD, Retro)
  • Inline comments and @mentions
  • Page-level permissions (user / role / group × view / comment / edit)

Document codes

Quality-system documents are referred to by number: "MAN.4-TL.01". You define a series in board settings (prefix, separator, number of digits) and bind a page template to it; every document created from that template receives the next code automatically. The code shows up in the tree, in search, in the document header and in PDF/Word exports.

  • Numbers are never reused: a deleted document’s code is not issued again, so no two documents can share a code in an audit.
  • Codes can be entered by hand - a document migrated from another system keeps its code and does not consume the series counter.
  • Changing a code is a board-admin action and is written to the audit log.
  • Two different templates can write into the same series; a series belongs to the board, not to a template.
  • The code is the document’s permanent identity and lives in a field separate from the version.

Document versions

The version number tells you how mature a document is: a new document is born as 0.0 draft, becomes 0.1 on first save, advances to 0.2 and 0.3 with each review round, and rounds up to 1.0 when published. Editing a published document makes it 1.1, and publishing again makes it 2.0. That way no one argues about what a number means: whole numbers are published, decimals are work in progress.

Every entry in the version history shows which version it belongs to, and published ones are highlighted. In an audit “approved” on its own says nothing; “1.0 published, editing started at 1.1” does.

Page permissions

By default a page follows your role in the space: whoever can edit, edits; whoever can comment, comments. When a single page needs to be narrower, you grant per-page access to a person, a role or a group - a compensation study only three people should see, for example. A restricted page is not even listed for someone without access.

Comments and files

  • Inline comments: select a passage and comment on exactly that sentence
  • Page comments: general discussion at the bottom of the page; @person and @group mentions work
  • File attachments: images, PDFs, Office documents and archives attach to the page; an image pasted into the editor uploads too
  • Watching: get notified when a page you watch changes or receives a comment

A page awaiting approval notifies approvers via the Inbox; once approval completes, the page gets an “Approved” badge. When a single signature is not enough and comments have to be collected and dispositioned, there is a separate process: Formal review.
