BookStack Organization

[scottalanmiller]

For those working with BookStack for documentation, especially customer documentation for an MSP or MSP-like organization, how do you like to organize your data to make things easy to navigate?

Bookshelves have now been added as a new layer to the organisation system. Has this changed this layout at all @JaredBusch?

Well actually, we are tweaking it to use Shelves as our top level per customer.

Then books, then chapters, then pages.

• Shelf: Client A
  • Book: Some Logical Grouping
    • (Rare)Pages: Some specific document
    • Chapter: Some Sub Grouping
      • Pages: Some specific document

That said, I also envision a shelf to group commonly referenced books across customers. because books can be on more than one shelf.

Not in a library they can't. Unless you have multiple copies of that book and they are categorized in multiple ways.

So kinda like a tagging system.. I dig it.

Bookstack also has tags.
