Why teams choose Docmost over Outline
Granular RBAC Permissions
Docmost includes full role-based access control with granular permissions for spaces, pages, and groups. Outline lacks fine-grained page-level permission controls needed by larger teams.
AI Assistant
Write, summarize, and translate content directly within your pages. Improve clarity, generate drafts, and refine text without leaving your document.
Built-in Diagrams
Create and embed diagrams natively with Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid. No need for external tools or workarounds. Diagramming is a first-class feature in Docmost.
