      I like how Citrix XenServer guide is set up.
      https://docs.citrix.com/content/dam/docs/en-us/xenserver/xenserver-7-0/downloads/xenserver-7-0-administrators-guide.pdf

      And also NetworkDNA documentations

        • Book = Client
          • Page = High level client info
          • Chapter = One per client site (ie Site A)
            • Page = Various pages for details
          • Chapter = User Documentation
            • Page = Various user guides specific to the client (ie how to setup email on your BYOD with specific server names for client)
          • Chapter = IT Documentation
            • Page = Various Guide for IT processes specific to the client

                  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.

                                          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>
