New App : Knowledge Management

The new knowledge App will allow you to replace tools like Notion and word processors to capture the knowledge and documentation of projects and processes in an interactive way. 

When first announced, Knowledge app was part of Odoo Community. However, it's now exclusively available in Odoo Enterprise Edition. 

The new app will allow users to build and share documentation,  best practices and business processes more easily. 

NavyBits, the Odoo Silver Partner in Lebanon, already tested the new Knowledge App and we believe that every business user will need it to document their daily routines.
