Creating internal software documentation can be efficiently managed using a documentation tool or a knowledge base.
We have been using Document360 2.0 for software documentation and internal Knowledge base. This allows us to create multiple projects, all of which are maintained in a single repository.
Document360 Features
AI Search: With an AI-powered search assistant, you can quickly search your documentation, avoiding long searches to find the piece of information.
Markdown Editor: Provides a user-friendly interface for writing and formatting content.
Version Control: Helps track changes and maintain different versions of documents
Dashboard: Allows you to check the key insights of your knowledge base project in a single screen.
Role-Based Access: Ensures that only authorized personnel can access or edit specific documents.
Custom Branding: Allows customization to match your company's branding.
Analytics: Offers insights into how the documentation is used, including search terms and popular articles.
Other tools you can explore are Confluence and Readthedocs.

For creating internal software documentation, I primarily use tools like Confluence and Notion. They’re great for organizing and collaborating on documents. Before deciding, always check reviews to make sure the tool meets your requirements. If you’re considering different options, you might want to apply to shelterluv customer service. They can provide info about their documentation tools and best practices.

Content language have to be consistent in all the documents
Clear guidelines
Automate wherever possible
Constantly update documents
And It will be better if you have search functionality in the documents
Launching soon!
When it comes to creating internal software documentation, I rely on the dynamic duo of Confluence for collaborative writing and Jira for tracking tasks. It's like having Batman and Robin on your side, but for organizing your tech projects!
