For teams, the top writing features center on real-time collaboration, workflow management, version control, and shared knowledge — ensuring multiple people can create, edit, and refine content without chaos.
Here are the top writing features for teams:
1. Real-Time Collaboration
- Simultaneous editing — multiple people work in the same document at once

- Inline comments and threaded discussions — capture feedback without email clutter [section-based]
- Suggest/track changes mode — control approval before edits go live
2. Workflow & Permissions
- Role-based access control — restrict edit/view rights based on roles
- Approval workflows — ensure content passes review stages before publishing
- Task assignments — link writing tasks to sections or deadlines
- Integration with project management tools — Trello, Asana, Jira, etc. [not planned]
3. Version Control & Document History
- Automatic version history — roll back to earlier drafts easily [todo]
- Change logs — track who made what edit and when [todo]
- Branching and merging — work on separate versions before combining changes [use discrete sections]
- Snapshot/locking features — freeze approved sections to prevent accidental edits [todo]
4. Shared Assets & Consistency
- Centralized template library — ensure consistent branding and formatting
- Shared style guides — enforce tone, voice, and formatting rules

6. Output & Publishing
- Multi-format export — DOCX, PDF, HTML, for different channels [Markdown not planned]
