awork Docs: Project documentation where the work happens

April 2025

[.b-important-block]With awork Docs, you document everything your project needs - directly in the project itself!

From the initial idea to the final handover, everything stays in one place: meeting notes, feedback, tasks, creative drafts and more.
No external tools, no email histories, no PDFs with comments. This keeps everything organised - for your team and your customers.[.b-important-block]

[$tag]💡 Overview[$tag]

In many projects, the most important information is scattered around: some in an email inbox, some in a PDF with comments, the rest in Slack or - even worse - only discussed on the phone. In the end, nobody knows exactly what the latest status is. When important information is spread across tools, channels and heads, the overview is lost - and with it often the quality.

Quote: Scattered information leads to lost overview and quality.

Real advantages thanks to linked project documentation

[.toc-name]Advantages with project docs[.toc-name]

🧭 No more constant searching

Project work often begins with the question: ‘Where was the briefing again?’ Or: ‘Is there a feedback document?’ If the information is scattered across tools, emails or notes, it costs time and nerves. With awork Docs, everything is in one place: in the project.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Better handovers and substitutions

If someone is ill or a project is handed over, information is quickly lost. With documented meetings, decisions and tasks in the project, everything remains traceable - even for new team members.

🧰 Fewer tool changes

Switching back and forth between Slack, Google Docs, emails and task lists takes focus. With awork Docs, we reduce digital stress because you can link content, tasks and feedback directly in the project - without leaving awork.

💬 Clearer communication - even with clients

Instead of sending PDF attachments with comments or recording feedback on the phone, you can invite clients directly into the project document. This avoids misunderstandings - and ensures faster decisions.

Quote: All info in the project - everyones always up to date.

Complete projects more efficiently with awork Docs

With awork Docs, you can create documents directly in a project. They are immediately visible to the team and remain where they are needed.

What this means in concrete terms:

  • Documents are part of the project - not outsourced somewhere
  • Access for team members, depending on the rights assigned
  • Tasks can be clearly linked to individual documents - for full context
  • Collaboration in real time: comments, live editing & mentions
  • Clearly structured with checklists, tables, code blocks & more
  • Link other docs, tasks or users - for a complete overview
  • Customers can be integrated free of charge via awork Connect - for feedback or approvals

Typical project documents with awork Docs

Whether it's a marketing campaign, website relaunch or customer presentation - in almost every project, there is a lot of content, ideas and feedback loops that need to be documented. With awork Docs, this information can be recorded in a structured and comprehensible way

Our favourite project docs in awork:

  • Briefings and project definitions so that everyone knows what it's all about
  • Brainstorming sessions and idea collections so that the entire team can participate
  • Draft texts, mood boards & creative concepts - so everyone can see what has been discussed and decided
  • Feedback loops and change logs finally make decisions transparent
  • Meeting notes, status updates and retrospectives, particularly relevant for longer and agile projects
  • Project reports and handover documents to keep customers up to date at all times
  • Clear overview of content and assets so that nothing gets lost
Quote: 5 emails, 2 PDFs - now one clear doc in the project.

How a project works at Studio Creativ (example) - with awork Docs

[.toc-name]Plan a project with Docs[.toc-name]

The creative team at Studio Creativ uses awork Docs to document all project steps clearly and comprehensibly - right from the start.

The scenario:

  • 🏆 A new project has been won - the client is looking forward to working together
  • 📩 Shortly afterwards, a PowerPoint with the project briefing arrives by email - unfortunately not the latest version
  • ✅ The team immediately creates a new project in awork - including a project doc ‘Briefing & kick-off’
  • 🔗 The current status is recorded here, including tasks, contact persons and important links
  • 🌐 The client is integrated via awork Connect - so all information is transparent and can be shared
  • 📝 Another ‘Feedback & changes’ doc is created during the project - linked to the respective task
  • 👥 The task is assigned to the customer, including the doc link - the status is set to ‘Feedback required’
  • ⚙️ Pro tip: With automation, awork reacts directly to the status change - e.g. through automatic notification or the next task release
  • 🔄 Change requests, comments and decisions end up directly in the document - traceable for everyone involved
  • 📦 Finally, a handover document is created - clearly structured and fully documented

The result:

  • No requests for the ‘latest version’
  • Everyone involved - internally and externally - has access to the current status at all times
  • The project team saves time, reduces coordination loops and delivers efficiently
