Revolutionize working on docs with both in-person and remote teams by creating and maintaining a single source of truth.
Why is document collaboration essential?
Real-time document collaboration means teams can easily share ideas, provide feedback, and make updates within one centralized knowledge base.
Distributed employees can use document collaboration tools to work together and comment without scattering communication about the project across several platforms.
At Notion we take centralization a step further. Our connected workspace is one repository for all your knowledge and docs.
Bring the whole team together to create, manage, and store documents — project timelines, dashboards, roadmaps — in a single database.
