Document

The project module in ZenTao comes with the feature of Doc management.

In the Doc section, it's available for you to create documents in various formats, create document libraries, or quickly create documents from templates. What's more, you can view the documents under the main project library, as well as create other project document libraries per your needs.

As for the attachment, there is a specific library to collect all the attached files and pictures automatically, and you can view them in Card or List.

A main library of the project will be created automatically after the project is created. Besides, you can create other project document libraries per your needs.

Click "Doc"-"Create"-"Document Library" and set the access control.

Click Save and you will go to the library automatically. Click its name to switch to another library.
