Clearer Hierarchies, Better Documentation

The new Organization Chart tool in OpenDocs is designed for precision and ease of use. Whether you are mapping out a small startup or a multi-department enterprise, our editor allows you to construct detailed diagrams that reflect your unique structure.

By adding Org Charts to your workspace, you can:

• Clarify Reporting Lines: Eliminate confusion by providing a visual reference for team leadership and departmental boundaries.
• Improve Onboarding: Help new team members navigate the organization from day one by embedding charts directly into welcome documents.
• Centralize Team Data: Keep your structural diagrams in the same AI-powered knowledge management tool where you store your technical specs and meeting notes.

Seamless Integration with OpenDocs Workflows

One of the greatest strengths of OpenDocs is its flexibility. You don’t just create a diagram; you make it part of your living documentation. You can utilize Organization Charts in two distinct ways:

1. Embed in Markdown: Use the “Insert Diagram” feature to place an Organization Chart directly inside a document page, surrounding it with the text context your team needs.
2. Dedicated Component Pages: Create a full-page diagram for a high-level view of your entire organization, making it easy to share as a standalone resource.
