Internal Documentation

Create. Review. Publish. All without the mess.

Internal documentation is the heartbeat of smooth operations. From IT Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to engineering checklists and HR policies, your internal content needs to be accurate, auditable, and easy to update—but not accidentally published before it's ready.

That’s where Capable Publishing comes in.

We help you shift from chaotic drafts and manual publishing to a reliable, structured workflow that protects your work, simplifies collaboration, and keeps your internal knowledge base squeaky clean.

💡 Why Capable for Internal Docs?

Most internal Confluence spaces grow fast—and not always in the right direction. Drafts get published too early. Edits go unnoticed. Review cycles happen in Slack DMs and email threads.

Capable puts your internal documentation on rails. Here’s how:

✅ Work in Private Draft Spaces

Keep your early work and half-baked edits safely tucked away. No more “just testing” pages in public view.

• Create and edit pages in a dedicated Draft Space

• Collaborate openly without fear of publishing incomplete content

• Protect sensitive or in-progress information until it's fully reviewed

Example: Your security team is writing an incident response playbook. It lives in “Security Drafts” where only the right folks can view and edit.

🧾 Build In Review & Approval Workflows

Don’t rely on tribal knowledge or inbox spelunking to get your SOPs reviewed. Capable lets you bake structured approval flows into your process.

• Set required approvers (e.g., senior IT analyst, compliance lead)

• Customize approval thresholds (e.g., 2 out of 3 required to approve)

• Reviewers can approve/reject directly via Slack or email

• Approval logs are stored for future audits

Example: Your DevOps team writes a new cloud deployment SOP. Capable requests approvals from both the lead engineer and knowledge manager. Once they approve, it publishes automatically. No button-clicking, no chasing.

📤 Publish to a Unified Internal Knowledge Space

Once approved, your page is automatically published to a secure, centralized “Internal Docs” space—where it’s clean, organized, and optionally read-only.

• Single source of truth: The published space is always up to date

• Access control: Limit editing on the published space to keep content stable

• Auto-update support: If the draft changes later, Capable flags both pages as “outdated” so you can republish with one click—no copy-paste gymnastics

Example: “Engineering Drafts,” “Security Drafts,” and “QA Drafts” all publish to a single “Internal Docs” space. Different teams, one clean output.

Real Team, Real Flow

Scenario: Your IT department is documenting how to onboard remote employees with secure laptop setup.

1. A tech writer starts the doc in “IT Drafts”

2. The IT lead and security officer review and approve via Slack

3. It’s published to “Internal Docs” with read-only permissions

4. Any future changes trigger a new approval round—automatically

The process is repeatable, transparent, and built for scale.
