      @jaredbusch Nice!

      I really like being able to copy and paste images

      You can copy and paste images in there?

        Can you control who has access to what?

          I remember that you can create roles and set permissions to books, chapters, and pages.

            Does it have a built in user permission control or does it need local users?

                    Is there a way to stop showing previews?
                    Is there a way to collapse text in Bookstack using markdown?

                        I think JB is due to some clients needing a WYSIWYG editor.

                          I've fully transitioned to this for the same reasons @JaredBusch did. Easier for users.

                            Never looked.
                            I do not know of any markdown commands to do that.

                              Oh ok. Ya if you need users to do something then that makes sense.

                                I do not know of any markdown commands to do that.

                                When using WYSIWYG for your page editor, click on source code
                                and add this code. It also works when using Markdown too.

                                ## collapsible markdown?
                                
                                <details><summary>CLICK ME</summary>
                                <p>
                                Hello World
                                </p>
                                </details>

                                  Does that work here?

                                  Collapse test:

                                  <details>
                                  <summary>CLICK ME</summary>

                                  </details>

                                      I usually use just plaintext filed nested in folders... other mainstream solutions?

                                        That's basically all DokuWiki is 🙂

                                          I use Grav. I don't have users documenting anything so it's awesome for us. It's all markdown and it's all flat file based, no databases.

                                            Yes, lots of Wiki systems exist and work well. But if entry is a style that your users cannot handle, it will not be used. If it is not used, it is worthless.
