Document360 is a project creation tool that allows users to create knowledge bases with custom logos, colors, and access levels. It has two editors: Markdown and WYSIWYG. Team accounts are used to manage the version, language, categories and articles while readers can only view the content. There are three methods to add a subcategory in Document360. The Knowledge base site is the website end users will access to read articles and find helpful answers.
After creating a Document360 account, it's time to create a project.
