### "Great product for creating wikis to document common processes" — 5.0/5

> **Tom** | *4 February 2022* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: + The support of Markdown and the preview of the documentation.
+ The automatic creation of a page contents using headings.
+ Pre-made structure of Shelves \> Books \> Chapters  \> Pages helps to get started.
+ Numerous IDM integrations including apps like Slack.
+ Auto-save of drafts.
> 
> **Cons**: - Pre-made structure of Shelves \> Books \> Chapters \> Pages is limiting.
- File upload is only through a small droppable area which can cause you to loose the page.
- Very limited visual customisation.
> 
> Easy to upgrade and maintain with regular ongoing updates from the developer, however the product is conceptually limited by the developers desire to retain the Shelves \> Books \> Chapters \> Pages structure, rather than abstracting these into a default set that could be customised.

> **Cons**: Un poco mas de personalización gráfica y de elementos que se pueden visualizar o no, dependiendo del rol que se esté utilizando.
