Pages are the best way to document stable information, like processes, long-term plans, how-tos, company policies, etc.
Pages, as opposed to Posts, usually don’t have Comments are the main way in P2 for you and your team to reply to posts and keep the conversation going. They’re located at the bottom of each post, and are organized in threads. Learn more.
With pages, collaboration happens as multiple people edit them. Conceptually, they’re equivalent to a Google Doc or a wiki page. You can read more about the differences between posts and pages in this document.
Examples
We use pages for these types of content:
- Roadmaps and longer term plans.
- Meetup details — dates, hotel address, nearby restaurants, planned activities, etc.
- Lists or tables of items — for example, a list of customers that any team member can update.
- Team’s values and core principles, or a code of conduct.
- Handbooks and onboarding instructions.
- Documenting processes.
- Bookmarks and useful links.
As you can see, this types of content usually stay relevant for long periods of time, and tend to evolve throughout time as people edit them.
Sometimes, defining the content requires several posts and discussions (for example, agreeing on a specific process). Once that’s decided, it makes sense to document it in a page.
