Knowledge

Answers your team can find without asking

Playbooks, runbooks and standard procedures in collections that control who can read them — searchable by any phrase inside the article, and living in the same place as the work itself.

Knowledge base software is where a team's repeatable answers live: how we onboard a client, how we run this kind of engagement, what to do when this alert fires. An internal knowledge base earns its keep only if people can find the article in the thirty seconds they are willing to spend — which means search that reads the whole article, sensible organisation, and being in the tool where the work already happens.

Whole-article search

Find it from a phrase you half remember

Search reads article bodies, not just titles, so a sentence you recall is enough to find the runbook.

Per collection

Access that matches reality

Collections are the permission boundary — leadership material and shared playbooks can live in the same system safely.

History

Change it with confidence

Every edit keeps a revision, so a procedure can be updated freely and checked later.

The index

Built for finding, not browsing

Each article shows its collection, tags, author and publish date, with pinned and featured articles at the top. Filter by collection or tag, search the full text, and — if you are an editor — see drafts alongside what is published.

  • Search across titles and bodies
  • Filter by collection and tag; editors also filter by status
  • Pinned and featured articles put the ones everyone needs on top
  • Publish, unpublish, move between collections, or delete in bulk

Articles

Articles that read like documentation, not a wiki dump

Clean formatted text with a summary, its collection and tags as links, the author, and a view count. Attachments ride along for the checklist or template the article refers to.

  • Rich text with headings, lists, code and links — cleaned on save
  • Summaries so the index tells you whether to open it
  • Attachments for the templates and files the article references
  • View counts, so you can see what people actually rely on

Collections

The shelf is also the lock

A collection is both the shelf and the permission. Give a collection to specific people or teams and only they see its articles anywhere in the app — including in search results. That is what makes it safe to keep a leadership collection next to the general playbooks.

  • Grant a collection to people or whole teams
  • A default collection, so nothing lands homeless
  • Articles you cannot access never appear in the index or in search
  • Tags cut across collections for browsing by topic

Editing

Edit freely — the old version is still there

Write in the editor, save a draft, publish when it is ready. Every save keeps a revision, so a procedure can be corrected without anyone worrying about what it used to say.

  • Draft and published states, so half-written guidance is not live guidance
  • Revision history on every article
  • Pin and feature controls to steer people to the current best answer

How it works

Making knowledge stick

1

Set up collections

Decide the shelves — client playbooks, support runbooks, internal-only — and who each is for.

2

Write what you repeat

Start with the answers your team types more than once a month. Tag them so they can be browsed.

3

Link from the work

Paste the article's link into a ticket note or project, or ask Prox, which can read what you have access to, so it is found at the moment of need.

4

Keep it current

Edit freely — revisions keep the history, and view counts show which articles carry the load.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is knowledge base software?
Knowledge base software stores a team's written answers — procedures, playbooks, how-tos, reference material — in a searchable, organised form. An internal knowledge base is for your own staff; a public one is for customers. AspirePro Knowledge is internal, permissioned by collection, and lives in the same system as the tickets and projects the articles are about.
How do permissions work?
Collections are the access boundary. Each collection is granted to specific users or teams, and articles inherit that. An article in a collection you cannot access is invisible everywhere — the index, filters and search results included — which is what lets sensitive material live in the same system as everyday playbooks.
Can I search inside articles?
Yes. Search reads the full body text, so you can find an article from a phrase you remember appearing in it rather than having to guess the title.
Does it keep a history of changes?
Every save creates a revision, so you can see how an article has changed over time. Articles also have draft and published states, so work in progress is not mistaken for current guidance.
Can I organise articles beyond collections?
Tags cut across collections for topic browsing, and articles can be pinned or featured to surface them at the top of the index. Editors can bulk-move, publish, unpublish or delete a selection when reorganising.
