Hi all, It's an interesting conversation. I struggled with maintaining a SharePoint instance at my corporation for years before finally settling on Workfront for my intranet. When you think about the flexibility we have to combine content and work, along with documents, users, and the various other objects, building an intranet in Workfront actually makes more sense than elsewhere to me. It was this thinking that led to the WIKI package I've developed, which currently supports a variety of article formats, FAQs, links, etc. and is fully dynamic leveraging a project's tasks and issues. With this approach, I now have the ability to WIKI-fy any project in my instance by simply adding some records and "tagging" them as WIKI, FAQ or LINK type records, distinguishing them from actual assigned work. Here's a snapshot of the front-end display in the project. In this case, I used it to document some details about a package built earlier around "Workfront Cleanup Dashboard" mentioned "https://community.workfront.com/discussions/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=6d34fa85-2a9a-4cbf-a323-d86cd0420221&CommunityKey=ccf3381b-a473-4ef2-9f81-4dd3244cf522&tab=digestviewer#bm6d34fa85-2a9a-4cbf-a323-d86cd0420221"> in another thread today. I'll be working to package the WIKI for quick installation from the AtAppStore in the coming days. I'm interested to see what the appetite is for something like this in your instances. Personally, I wish I had this thing 6 years ago given how super valuable it is. Regards, Narayan
