Productive's Docs

Use Docs to collaborate on documentation, add project docs, or write onboarding guides and how-tos in Productive.

ngDocs make it easy for teams to collaborate in real time, whether they're working independently or within projects.

A doc can function as a standalone document or be linked to a project, and it can contain multiple pages and subpages for better organization.

As the doc creator, you control who can access and edit your docs. You can also create index pages for easy navigation, use emojis and covers to visually distinguish sections, and track changes with version history.

📌 Docs have built-in AI-powered features, such as summarizing content or generating action items.

Organizing Docs With Pages and Subpages

Each doc can contain multiple pages and subpages for structured content:

  • Docs: The main container, storing all pages and subpages.

  • Pages: Sections within a doc, similar to chapters.

  • Subpages: Nested under pages, useful for detailed content.

👉 Learn more in Organizing Your Docs.

Customizing and Editing Docs

Use text editing tools to format content, insert tables and checklists, upload files and images, leave comments, and arrange text in columns.

📌 Docs support markdown on paste — copy text from any tool that uses markdown, and the formatting applies automatically.

👉 For a detailed breakdown, see Text Editing in Docs.

Docs Custom Fields

Custom fields let you organize docs with additional attributes beyond Productive's built-in options, such as document type, status, or assigned person.

👉 Learn more in Docs Custom Fields.

Sharing Docs

Invite teammates to view, comment, or edit docs, adjust access levels, or share a read-only link with anyone.

Standalone docs are private by default, while docs within projects are visible to project members. You can adjust permissions to control who sees what.
