🦄 Asana Docs

[Barbara_Ramirez]

I’m curious if there’s anyone here that has used clickup docs before and it marked a before-after of working with collaborative documents that you could turn into actions easily.

So Asana does not have this quite yet, but we’ve done it with a project and some simple customization to “replace” the fact to use google docs and asana back-n-forth (it is time/energy consuming).

In this video, I explain the purpose of our docs project, which is to organize and track our own documents.

+Plus I made this quick guide today after a lot of tests both internally and with clients: https://scribehow.com/shared/_Asana_Docs__hCY5I9cETeKS-WfoYuxKyg

PS: this is by far what I was able to come up with - but having docs and a whiteboard in Asana will be a gamechanger.

Thoughts?

I would love for Asana to add a docs feature. They could use the foundation of the Project Briefs to start with it. Hopefully this is something we see sometime soon.

You got my vote! I just saw the ClickUp Docs features, and that looks amazing. I hope Asana has a new set of Docs features in the roadmap as well. Using tasks for documentation is certainly a hack, and it skews the Dashboard reporting numbers. They are making a lot improvements to the task panel and content editing functionalities so I hope they plan to extend that to a new “Docs” tab within projects and teams.

Exciting news today, Asana finally rolled out a new Notes project view (tab). It seems to be very flexible and should address most of our needs. I like that you can create multiple Note tabs, and convert notes into tasks. I wish it included an optional content ‘Outline’ sidebar with anchor links to the H1’s and H2’s within the Note similar to a Google Doc, but this a good start.

Introducing Project Notes!

Hi Asana community! I’m Eileen from the Asana product marketing team. I’m excited to share that we’re launching a new project view called Notes! This view is super versatile – perfect for meeting notes, keeping important info and links handy, or just jotting down ideas. You can create multiple Notes views in a single project, giving endless opportunities to customize your project! Turn text into tasks from a Note so you never miss a meeting action item again!

I love this direction. ClickUp’s more comprehensive Docs functionality would be INCREDIBLE in Asana. It would save millions of Google Docs needing to be created and linked in Asana when we need to collaborate on more comprehensive notes/documents.

For example, if we could create notes that are linked to tasks, editable by multiple Asana users in real-time with organizational capabilities (such as folder hierarchies, etc.) we’d be able to use Asana MUCH more than we already do.
