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. Context finds you, rather than the other way around.
Owners and review cadence — staying fresh without nagging
The quiet failure of every wiki: nobody owns anything, so everything rots. 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. No team-wide shame lists, no automated emails. 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, brochures — those have homes already, and the 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.
