Documents

Items hold the work. Documents hold the why: the project brief, the decision you made last quarter, the runbook your team actually follows. They live in the same space as the items they describe, one click away, not in a wiki tab nobody has opened since March.

Writing and finding them

Every space has a Docs section: a searchable list with filters that match how you actually look for things: mine, needs review, no owner, pinned. Documents are rich text, edited live together like everything else, and they take labels from the same set as your items, so the Client: Meridian label finds the items and the brief.

A document can be attached to a parent item or milestone, and items show related documents in their panel. And when a passage needs talking about, discussions pin the conversation to the exact words it concerns. Talk about a document where it's written.

Owners and review cadence: staying fresh without nagging

The usual wiki failure: nobody owns anything, so everything goes stale. Wodo's answer is two optional fields:

• An owner — a person or team whose document this is.
• A review cadence — "this should be looked at every 90 days".

When a document goes past its review date, its owner gets a nudge: a banner on the document and a line in their inbox. Nobody else sees anything but a small "needs review" chip, and no automated emails go out. The owner clicks Mark reviewed (or hands the document off), and it's fresh for another cycle.

Writing that doesn't need to stay fresh (a decision record, an interview note) simply gets no cadence and is left alone forever.

Document templates

Any document can be marked as a template. The "New doc" button then offers it alongside a blank page: meeting notes with your standing agenda, a decision record with your format, a brief with the questions you always ask. You get a fresh copy, instantly, and it's entirely yours.

What documents are deliberately not

Wodo is not trying to be your Drive or your company handbook. Contracts, decks, spreadsheets, and brochures already have homes, and those homes are good at it. Wodo holds the small, trustworthy set of writing that keeps your items' "why" within reach. A limited wiki, on purpose.
