help Notion Wiki/Internal Documentation FAQ
How do I set up an internal Wiki in Notion?
You can set up a Wiki in Notion by creating a top-level page and utilizing the new 'Wiki' database property to structure your documentation. You then build out a hierarchy of sub-pages for different departments, adding a clean, navigation sidebar for easy access.
Can I prevent team members from editing my Notion internal Wiki?
Yes, Notion allows you to lock down edits by tweaking the sharing and permission settings at the top of the Wiki page. You can grant 'Full access' to admins, while giving general team members 'Can view' or 'Can comment' access, ensuring the documentation remains structured and unaltered.
Is Notion cheaper than Confluence for internal documentation?
Yes, Notion is generally much more affordable than dedicated enterprise wiki software like Confluence or SharePoint. You can start building a comprehensive internal wiki on the Plus plan, which costs around $10 per user per month, avoiding heavy enterprise licensing fees.
How does the search function work in a Notion internal wiki?
Notion features a global search bar that instantly indexes all pages, databases, and text blocks that a user has permission to access. As your team types a query, Notion surfaces the most relevant documentation instantly, making it an incredibly fast knowledge base for employees.
