Working with documents involves collaborating on and creating the kinds of information resources required for the work to be completed. This is especially important when working on large-scale projects that have a lot of moving parts like developing software. Documentation helps everyone stay on the same page, and it eliminates wasted time trying to comprehend instructions or process steps that someone else has already documented.

This helps create an easier and more seamless workflow for documentation and an ecosystem.

Document collaboration is usually about the division of teams into groups with different permissions and access to documentation, so that each group can concentrate on their own work without worrying about accidentally altering or overwriting other’s work. Version control is also essential to track and restore older versions of documents. In addition, it provides the ability to allow both the synchronous and asynchronous communications within the document itself. By establishing these guidelines, you can ensure that everyone in your team has the highest chance of success when they are using the company’s documentation.
