Features
Markdown editor
Content is written using the Markdown syntax, using a visual editor and saved directly as Markdown files.
Git-backed storage
Content is continuously synced with a remote Git repository, which serves both as a backup and single source of truth in case of restores or multiple servers setup. Git in 2.x is optional and can be replaced with other storage providers.[4].
Integrated access control
Access can be given to all or specific sections of the wiki. Users can log in using local authentication, Google, Microsoft or Facebook social login. Guest view is supported.
Assets management
Media content such as images, videos, documents or any type of files can be inserted into content. Assets can be classified under folders and thumbnails are automatically generated for compatible media.
Built-in search engine
All content is automatically indexed and accessible from any page via the search bar.
