Overview

Notion is our primary long-term storage tool. It houses this very handbook along with other key databases and documentation. We use it as our default document creation tool. We use Google Docs instead when there is a specific reason to do so.

The Handbook is a notion doc but is published via Super.so to handbook.cantilever.co, which provides a few unique styling and organization capabilities.

✅ Use For...

• The Handbook
• Project Plans
• Internal documentation about processes, sites, projects
• Databases of information like our Site Database, Client Database, Project Database, and Team Database
• Metrics and data about the studio

🚫 Don’t Use For...

• Documents that require a high degree of collaboration (Use Google Docs)
• Information that is not meant to be useful a week from now (Use Slack)
• Client communication aside from specific cases where the client likes Notion

📏 Rules for Notion

✅ Do…

• Check for similar pages before you add a new one. Try not to repeat content or put the same thing in two places.
• Obey existing conventions of formatting and design, particularly in the handbook. See Handbook
• Try to use Notion as much as possible and use Google Docs as little as possible.
