Waybook will inform members of newly assigned documents and allows you to notify members when you make a change to a document

When a document is updated and you are ready to share this knowledge you will publish it in Waybook. Once published it can be accessed when not in edit mode.

When you go to make a change to this document and republish it we'll ask you if you want to notify all assigned team members of the change.

If your update is just a small change - for example, you’ve corrected a small error or typo - and you don’t want to reset progress on updates steps, you can hit "Minor Change" and we'll just publish the changes with no further action.

However, if you’ve made a major update and want to ensure everyone who is required to complete that document receives a notification, click "Major Change". This will ensure all assigned members receive an email alerting them of the update, so they can log in and check the changes.

This will also reset their progress on the document so that when they log into Waybook, they will see the updated steps that require completion again.
