GitBook vs Docusaurus
Protect your primary docs
GitBook uses a Git-like branching workflow for your documentation. That’s great for open-source docs because it stops changes going live accidentally, while encouraging everyone to make edits and give feedback. The result? Better quality docs with fewer conflicts.
A two-way sync with GitHub or GitLab
Build a documentation workflow that involves everyone in your project. With Git Sync, you can link your documentation to a Git repository, and changes sync both ways. So everyone can contribute updates, whether it’s from GitBook’s intuitive editor, or from a pull request.
Install integrations or build your own
We have dozens of built-in integrations to make your documentation more useful and interactive for users. If you still can’t find what you need, just build it yourself! Our developer API makes it easy to create your own GitBook integrations.
Powering documentation for all kinds of products
Permission settings that put you in control
GitBook’s tiered permissions let you choose exactly what every member of your team can do — from full admin right to read-only access. Global permissions make it easy to manage your team as it grows, while content-level overrides let you increase or limit people’s access when needed.
Let your users find the answers they need
Great documentation helps your users be more successful. With GitBook AI, your users can ask questions about your docs and get the answers they need instantly, reducing frustration and helping make self-serve support effortless.
Your changes all save automatically in GitBook, whether you’re editing alongside others in real time, or working in your own branch. So it’s easy to keep track of changes with the diff view, and roll back if needed.
