Confluence alternative
Bridge Docs or Confluence?
Bridge Docs is a Confluence alternative for service teams. It is a knowledge base of pages in groups, with a workspace for each project, client and deal — the same records the other BridgeME products hold. Pages are shared with people and groups, published behind a passcode, downloaded as PDF or Word, and can be asked questions. Bridge Docs imports Confluence pages by connecting to it or from an export.
