Our small company is currently using OneNote for all our documentation, but we're looking to level up. What are some good options for documentation platforms that would suit our needs?

Are you sure you've outgrown your current setup? Don't rush into changing systems just because it seems trendy.
Great point! If you decide to move from OneNote, keep in mind there are free options like wiki.js or Dokuwiki that could work well without any costs.
Many people transition to platforms like BookStack, Confluence, or Wiki.js once OneNote feels cluttered. These options provide better structure, search functionality, and user permissions, making it easier to document processes and procedures.
While these platforms have their perks, remember that a properly organized OneNote can still offer structure and permissions. It’s definitely capable for a small business!
Hudu has worked wonders for us! Personally, I’ve found Bookstack very useful too, especially for keeping my own stuff organized.
We use Guru for a lot of our documentation needs. It can get a bit pricey for larger teams, but it’s very effective!
If you're looking to move on from OneNote, Notion and Confluence are popular choices. But, if your team is already using Microsoft tools, SharePoint could be a great fit as well. We’ve also had good experiences with Zendesk for writing help articles and customer support documentation.
I'm a fan of wiki.js too! We've been using it without any issues, plus it has nice features like syncing to blob containers and GitHub for backups.
