You get a packed update this month with powerful upgrades across the core areas of GembaDocs!
There’s a new Advanced SOP format for teams who want more depth, a fresh Kanban template built for real-world write-on use and big improvements to the Skills module that cut admin and speed up training. You’ll also notice a clearer menu layout and a major expansion in the Lean Cave. And to top it off, Japanese is now live as we welcome our first customer in Japan.
New: Advanced SOP Format
