What Outline does
Outline is a team wiki and documentation tool with a polished editor, nested document structure, and strong search, positioned as a self-hosted alternative to Notion or Confluence. It's aimed at teams that want a fast, clean writing experience for internal docs. It also supports Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, so documents can be searched and shared without leaving chat.
