Here's what I'd actually recommend.\n\n## Shared notes & team wiki\n\n1. **Notion** - my default pick for most remote teams. It's really a workspace that happens to do notes: pages, databases, wikis, and project boards in one place, with real-time editing and comments. It often absorbs Google Docs, Trello, and Confluence at once, which is exactly what you want when the team is distributed and you don't want knowledge scattered across five tools. Weakness: it gets messy without someone owning structure.\n2. **Confluence** - the right answer if you're already on Jira, or if you're big enough that permissions, audit, and compliance matter more than feel. It's the enterprise knowledge base; less pleasant to write in, much better at scale and security.\n3. **Coda** - pick this over Notion if your notes keep turning into trackers. Notion treats the page as the unit; Coda treats the table as the unit and builds docs on top, with stronger formulas and (as of early 2026) notably strong in-doc AI.
