Introduction to Smart Docs
Why are we Focusing on Documents?
Almost every team we encounter is using some document authoring system to house and/or report their requirements.
By offering both unrestricted style to present requirements, and templates that create structure, Smart Docs makes building documentation an easy to implement staple for all teams.
Smart Docs Tutorials
Build a Meta Template
When creating any Smart Doc, you create it on top of a Meta Template.
This means your Meta Template defines exactly which work items are allowed in your Document and where.
This is why we start our tutorials by teaching how to build a basic Meta Template first.
Create and Edit Your Smart Doc
Creating a Smart Doc allows your team to implement a document-driven workflow, where you are adding in existing project requirements into documentation or building new requirements from the document interface.
Whichever you are choosing to do, you need to be able to create and edit a Smart Doc using the Meta Template you created in Step 1.
Versioning and Create Reusable Doc Templates
Smart Docs includes all of the necessary versioning capabilities.
You can get a red-line view of changes that are made between document versions, and easily save new versions of documents at any time. You can output older versions of documents and more.
We cover versioning and building reusable document templates in this video.
