Feature Request: Knowledge Spaces – Notion-Style Intranet, Native Databases & Granular Permissions Overview ClickUp’s vision of “One app to replace them all” is compelling. However, while ClickUp is excellent at task and project management, it still lacks the flexibility of Notion when it comes to building an internal company intranet, managing structured knowledge, and organizing databases independently of tasks. I would love to see ClickUp introduce Knowledge Spaces, a dedicated environment for company knowledge management that exists independently of the current task-based hierarchy. Dedicated Knowledge Spaces Introduce a new type of Space specifically designed for knowledge management rather than task management. Key capabilities: * Create nested pages and subpages, similar to Notion. * Build company intranets, department portals, internal wikis, and knowledge bases. * Organize content through a flexible sidebar hierarchy. * Embed databases, documents, dashboards, and other content directly within pages. * Link relevant pages and database records to ClickUp tasks when needed, without treating everything as a task. Native Databases (Independent of Tasks) Please introduce Notion-style databases as first-class objects within Knowledge Spaces. Features should include: * Custom properties and field types. * Table, Board, Calendar, Gallery, and List views. * Database relationships, rollups, and formulas. * Linked database views that can be embedded across multiple pages. * Filtering, sorting, grouping, and reusable templates. * Database records that can contain full pages of content. Importantly, database records should not need to be ClickUp tasks. For example, companies should be able to manage policies, contracts, employee skills, company assets, meeting records, and internal knowledge without creating artificial tasks. Granular, Notion-Style Permissions This is particularly important for using ClickUp as an enterprise intranet. I would like to see flexible permission management at multiple levels: * Knowledge Space level * Folder and page level * Database level * Individual database record level, if feasible Ideally, permissions would support: * Different roles such as Full Access, Can Edit, Can Comment, and Can View. * Permissions assigned to individual users and groups. * Permission inheritance from parent pages, with the ability to configure exceptions. * Private pages and databases accessible only to explicitly authorized users. * Organization-wide knowledge areas that employees can read but only designated owners can edit. * Clear visibility into who has access to each page or database. * Search and AI features that strictly respect each user’s access permissions. For example, a company could maintain an open internal knowledge base accessible to all employees, while restricting HR, legal, M&A, and management information to specific authorized groups. Linked database views must also respect the permissions of the underlying database and records. Integration With Existing ClickUp Features Knowledge Spaces should integrate seamlessly with ClickUp Tasks, Docs, Dashboards, Automations, and AI. Ideally: * Tasks could link to knowledge pages or database records. * AI could search and summarize authorized knowledge across the organization. * Automations could operate on database records. * Knowledge could be reused across departments without unnecessary duplication. Why This Matters Many organizations currently need both ClickUp and Notion because the two products serve different purposes: ClickUp = Task and project management Notion = Knowledge management, databases, and company intranet If ClickUp introduced Knowledge Spaces with native databases and granular permissions, organizations could genuinely consolidate both functions into a single platform. I am not suggesting that ClickUp replace its existing task management model. Instead, I believe task management and knowledge management should become two complementary, first-class capabilities within the same workspace. This would be a major step toward making “One app to replace them all” a reality.

Thank you for v2. So many improvements to an already great app :) I would like to request that you please consider adding latex (math typesetting) to docs (and comments?). Maybe via https://www.mathjax.org/ or other (dropbox have a nice implementation as well in their new "Dropbox Paper"). Ideally, this could be a setting to be enabled per user so that text surrounded with '$' (or '$$' for an equation line) will be rendered by the math engine (i.e. mathjax). Thank you!

Before launching Docs 3.0, we had a convention on our team to add a keywords section at the beginning of each page, to make sure we can find a document easier. Tags on Docs 3.0 are great and if we could add tags to pages, we can put our keywords section away.

Before ClickUp 4.0, guests with edit permissions were able to create new Docs directly in the Docs Hub, even when the document was not linked to a Space, Folder, List, or Task. After the 4.0 update, guests can still view and edit existing Docs, but they can no longer create new ones in the Docs Hub. This change was not clearly communicated and broke established workflows that relied on guest collaboration. We are requesting the ability to allow guests to create new Docs in the Docs Hub again, restoring the previous behavior or providing a configurable permission for workspace admins. Problem / Why this matters Many teams use guests for: External consultants Partners Auditors Designers Engineers or specialists working on documentation In these scenarios, guests are expected to: Create meeting notes Draft procedures (SOPs) Propose documentation Collaborate asynchronously Blocking Doc creation forces teams to: romote guests to full members (higher cost) Create Docs on their behalf Use workarounds like templates and duplication This negatively impacts collaboration, governance, and efficiency. Expected behavior Workspace admins should be able to: A) Allow guests to create Docs in the Docs Hub OR B) Enable a specific permission like: “Allow guests to create Docs” This permission could be optional and disabled by default for security-conscious teams. Actual behavior (ClickUp 4.0) Guests can edit existing Docs Guests cannot create new Docs in Docs Hub Docs created by guests before 4.0 still exist No clear permission toggle or documentation explains the change Business impact Increased friction in collaboration with external contributors Higher costs due to forced member upgrades Reduced adoption of ClickUp Docs for shared documentation More “manual proxy work” by internal team members Additional context This feature existed and worked well before ClickUp 4.0. Restoring it (or making it configurable) would align ClickUp Docs with real-world collaboration needs while still preserving security controls.

Markdown is not sugar over a mystery backend format. All text needs to be all genuinely markdown all the way. If I paste markdown from Github or wherever it should work (to the extent the markdown flavor matches). If I select text in ClickUp and paste in Github or Slack it should show up as markdown, not flat text with formatting stripped.

With the ability to create a ton of docs and pages via AI. Having to also update the pages style for example a page outline (turn it on) for every page becomes manual work thats pretty brutal to do. I propose that you allow to set a doc to a style for all its pages. so it becomes a turn page outline once rather than multiple times. Or let the Brain AI work on page style settings

Hi ClickUp guys! I hope you can solve my issue... Situation: I have a public shared doc page including some synced blocks and a public shared doc subpage belonging to the parent page where the same synced block has been copied. Issue: Even if both pages are publicly shared, the link pointing to the subpage does NOT shows the content of the synced blocks belonging to the parent page. It would be very nice and useful if the synced blocks were also visible from the subpage shared link because the links are addressed to different recipients thank you

Basically, I was hoping to find an alternative online office suite. As much as I love the features of Google Drive, I haven't been to happy with a lot of stuff Google has done recently. Clickup seemed to be the closest alternative I could find. Since I'm trying to move away from using Google so much, I don't want to have to link spreadsheets from Google Drive. I want to be able to create native spreadsheets in ClickUp, in a similar manner to how I can create native documents. This said, I do love ClickUp's subpage feature - I find it great for organizing information. =) Along with having native spreadsheets, I think it would be great to be able to have a spreadsheet as a subpage of a document - or vice-versa: a document as a subpage of a spreadsheet! In general, I think that integrating spreadsheets in a similar manner as documents would be great. =)

I have a huge wiki document with multiple subpages nested into a neat hierarchy. I’d love to be able to export a subsection of a doc but also include its some pages. For example, i have a section in my wiki document full of SOP’s. I’d love to export all the SOP’s under there in to one markdown or HTML file. Right now, i have to export either the entire wiki, and remove what I don’t want from a massive doc. Or download each subpage manually and then merge them manually. It’s time consuming especially after i spent so much time organizing all my content in a neat hierarchy

It would be great if one could set default settings for page formatting and layouts. I'm currently setting the "paragraph spacing" for each and every doc that I create. This is a small but annoying extra step :) Thanks for considering.
