Several people can edit a page at once, and content is organized into spaces with their own permissions, with Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams built in. The Open Source edition is free under AGPL-3.0; commercially licensed Business and Enterprise editions add SSO, AI search, databases and compliance features.

## Key features

- **Real-time collaborative editor:** Several people edit the same page at once with live cursors. The editor has a slash menu, @ mentions, tables, code blocks, math equations and Markdown shortcuts.
- **Spaces and permissions:** Unlimited spaces separate content by team, project or department, each with its own permissions and groups. Page-level permissions need the Business edition.
- **Built-in diagrams:** Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams are created inside a page, and all three are included in the free Open Source edition.
- **AI search, chat and MCP:** Business and Enterprise add AI answers grounded in your pages with source citations, running on a self-hosted or cloud LLM, and can expose the wiki as an MCP server.
- **Bases and Kanban:** Bases organize content as structured databases with properties, filters, sorts and formulas, in table and Kanban views. They are part of the Business edition.
- **Import and export:** Pages import from Markdown, HTML and Notion and export to Markdown and HTML on every edition. Confluence, DOCX and PDF import need Business.
