Plane Wiki, more than just organizational tribal knowledge

Visual showing Plane as a connected system for team knowledge, linking documentation, collaboration, and shared workspace insights.

Today, we are redefining what a Wiki means for the teams that build. Wikis used to be where tribal knowledge went to live. Scattered notes. Buried decisions. Docs written once and never opened again. We're changing that.

With Plane Wiki, documentation becomes a living part of your work. Not a separate tool. Not a passive archive. A structured system that grows with your team and stays connected to everything you do. Each page holds more than information. It holds context. It links directly to your projects, tasks, and decisions. It evolves as your team does.

This isn’t just where knowledge gets stored. This is where it stays useful.

One system

Most teams document across five different tools. Specs in Notion. Policies in Confluence. Notes in Google Docs. Feedback in Slack. None of it connected. None of it complete. Plane fixes this by making documentation part of the work itself.
Pages live inside your projects. And Wikis live across them.

That means everything—from a product brief to an onboarding guide—sits right next to your work items, cycles, and updates. No extra tabs. No syncing issues. Just knowledge, where it belongs.

What you can do with Pages

Pages are the building blocks of the Wiki. Each one is a powerful document that can be edited in real time, organized deeply, and shared however you need. Here’s what they can do:

  • Rich content blocks for tables, code, callouts, embeds, and more (16+ blocks)
  • Live collaboration with cursor presence and synced edits
  • Nested structure for parent-child page hierarchies
  • Version history to review and restore with a click
  • Markdown support so you can write your way
  • Private, team, or public sharing
  • Smooth editing experience with a cursor that feels fun to use

How Pages Work

Creating a Page is simple. Press D inside any project and start writing. From there, you can:

1. Write naturally

Use the / command to insert any content block—headings, lists, tables, images, or code. Everything supports full Markdown, so you can write the way you prefer. And Smooth cursor support to make editing fun again, that show exactly where your teammates are typing (no more "are you editing the same section as me?" messages.

2. Collaborate in real-time

See your teammates' cursors move across the page as they edit. No more "who has the latest version?" confusion. Changes sync instantly across all devices.

3. Organize intuitively

Create nested pages to build comprehensive documentation hierarchies. Use the Wiki for company-wide knowledge that spans beyond individual projects.

4. Share purposefully

Control access with granular permissions. Keep pages private for personal notes, share within your team, or publish to the web for external stakeholders.

5. Stay productive, even offline

We have built Wiki to be local first at the core, you can make edits offline and it'll automagically sync back when you come back online!

6. Start faster with Page templates

Page Templates help you standardize and streamline your documentation workflow by providing reusable page structures for common content types.

Designed for how teams actually work

We didn't just port a text editor into Plane. Here is how we are different:

1. Lock pages to prevent accidents

Keep important docs safe from unintentional edits. Lock a page with one click. Unlock it when you're ready to make changes.

2. Embed work items directly

Reference issues, cycles, and modules directly in your documentation. When specs mention specific tasks, embed them to maintain context.

3. Export when needed

Generate PDFs for stakeholders who need offline access. Export to Markdown for integration with other tools. Your content is never locked in.

Built for Scale: Introducing Wiki

While project pages handle team-specific documentation, Wiki is built for everything that goes beyond. Wiki is your workspace-wide knowledge hub. Use it for:

  • Company policies and procedures
  • Engineering standards and guidelines
  • Onboarding materials
  • Shared resources and best practices
  • Anything that should stay centralized and easy to find

It’s the same editor, the same collaboration features—just scaled across your entire organization.

Built to perform

Under the hood, Pages and Wiki are built for performance and reliability:

  • WebSocket-based sync ensures real-time collaboration without conflicts using the Yjs CRDT algorithm
  • Optimized for large documents with lazy loading and efficient rendering
  • Full Markdown compatibility for easy import/export
  • Robust version history with one-click restoration

What’s coming next

We’re not definitely not done here. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Advanced permissions with commenting for locked pages
  • Enhanced search across your wiki, pages and projects
  • API access for programmatic page creation and updates
  • Deeper integrations with issues, cycles, and automation
  • External embeds to make you're docs more lively, from embedding figma designs to loom videos!
  • Advanced workflows with lists
  • Live comments for completing the feedback loop!
