API references, code guidelines, product overviews and everything in between. GitBook
helps you help your users with easy-to-publish, intuitive to use, highly searchable docs.
Centralize decision-making in one place, from company wikis to engineering docs. Empower
everyone to contribute constructively, regardless of team or technical ability.
GitBook was a huge upgrade from our legacy platform. We went from a confusing bottleneck to over 90 employees using the system regularly. Even better, pageviews have increased every month with our latest at 300,000!

Never start from scratch
It’s easy to get up and running in GitBook—just sync with an existing Git branch or import
from Confluence, Notion, GitHub, Dropbox Paper, and Google Docs. A powerful, real-time
block editor lets you rearrange everything as you go with support for code blocks, images,
tables and more.
Markdown or WYSIWYG
Ready-to-use templates
Multiple page imports
Nest and group pages
Collaborate
Engage across teams
Whether you’re pre-planning a release or collaborating on public docs, GitBook offers
multiple ways for both technical and non-technical stakeholders to contribute. Get
approvers to sign off, then open up for feedback from peers. Everyone works async—start
discussions, tag teammates and thread comments. Consensus, reached.

Create a source of truth
Turn ideas into proposals, then allow collaborators to contribute through change requests
(or direct editing). With Git Sync, you can maintain planning and product docs that are as
updated as your codebase. Commit (and edit) without fear—your original content is
protected and there’s a record of every change. It’s the Git you know, minus the
complexity.
Git-like version control
Protect your main branch
Bi-directional Git sync

Secure
Your content, your way.
Keep an internal archive detailing every product release, from first PR to final merge.
And if you’re looking to empower partners, power users and external developers, visitor
authentication allows you to share content, securely. The bottom line? You maintain
complete control over who views your content (and when).

Always up to date
Docs are only as good as they’re updated. Use bi-directional Git Sync to keep public docs
in sync with your codebase. A user-facing feedback system and backend analytics also mean
you’re getting a constant temperature check on what pages are working—and where your gaps
are.
