Getting Started Checklist — <5 min per step
Use this checklist to get up and running with Slite:
Read this introduction doc end to end
Explore your team's channels, pin the ones most relevant to your work, and favorite important docs for quick access
Ask Slite Agent your first question, such as "What is the X team working on?" or "How do I set up X?"
Run Agent Maintenance on one key document to experience first hand how it detects drift in action, then review suggestions in Agent Triage
Welcome to Slite — and why we chose it
Slite is a self-maintaining knowledge base that enables teams to create, find and manage their company knowledge at scale.
Introduction to Slite
Slite brings together two key parts of your team's knowledge workflow:
- the Editor, where you create and maintain documentation.
- the Slite Agent, which helps you find and keep that knowledge up to date.
The Slite Editor
The Editor is where your team creates, organizes, and collaborates on your knowledge. It's your team's source of truth for documentation.
The Slite Agent
It's the AI layer that helps you find information across your workspace and connected tools, while keeping your documentation accurate over time.
Ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in information from your connected tools, including Slack, Linear, GitHub, and 20+ other integrations.
Slite Agent can also detect when documentation needs to be updated, draft suggested updates, and route them to the document owner for review.
Why have we selected Slite at company name?
For the admin: you can add 1-3 goals here to let people know why you have selected Slite and what you are hoping to achieve with the implementation and rollout → also see: How to get your team on board .
Slite is here to provide you with a single source of truth so everyone can be more aligned.
We want to scale our knowledge as we grow and Slite keeps our institutional knowledge organised and accessible.
Slite removes the ambiguity of not knowing if documentation is up to date and/or can be trusted.
We want to bring all our scattered knowledge into one searchable place so we stop losing information across all our other tools.
We want to have our documentation accurate and up to date, so we avoid wasting time following outdated guides or getting misled by stale information.
How Slite fits into your daily workflow?
For the admin: you can add 1-3 concrete, scenario-based examples of how they should use Slite for. This can help them understand when and how to reach for it in their day-to-day.
Capturing everyday knowledge
From meeting notes and SOPs to project plans and onboarding guides, use Slite to collect and share knowledge as you work. Multiple people can edit the same doc at once, leave inline comments, and tag teammates with @mentions.
When you update a doc
After making changes, mark the doc as Verified and set a review cycle. The Agent will remind the owner when it's time to re-check — and will flag it automatically if connected tools suggest it's gone stale before then..
After a sprint or project closes
Run Agent Maintenance on your roadmap or project doc. The Agent will cross-reference your connected tools (e.g. Linear, GitHub) and flag anything that's drifted — closed tickets that contradict the doc, merged PRs that changed a described behaviour, etc. Review the suggested fixes and approve what's right.
When a Slack thread resolves something important
Instead of letting the answer get buried, use the Agent to turn the thread into a structured doc. Open the Agent, point it at the thread, and it will draft a clean write-up for you to review and publish.
Where to find things
For the admin: this is a great place to drop an annotated screenshot of your workspace so new users can see exactly where things are.
The sidebar is your main navigation, with everything you need just a click away.
Slite Agent
The fastest way to find anything. Type a question in plain language and the Agent answers from your docs and connected tools.
Search bar
Use keywords to search for and find Slite docs.
Agent Triage
Where the Agent surfaces suggested doc fixes after running Agent Maintenance. You can review and approve changes here.
Favorites
Docs you've starred for quick access.
Channels
Channels are like folders where your team's docs live and organized by topic or team. Pin the ones you use most.
Private Channel
Use it for your own docs or drafts before publishing to a shared channel.
Knowledge management
A single dashboard showing every doc's verification status, owner, and activity. Great for keeping your workspace healthy as it grows.
Notifications
Notifications Manage alerts for docs you follow — updates, verification requests, and @mentions.
Help
Help Access the Slite Help Center, submit a bug, or contact support.
Best Practices
🔏 Use your Private Channel for drafts before sharing with the team
🔗 Manage sharing & access from the Share button in any doc. Permissions are set at the channel level but can be adjusted per doc
📋 Before creating a doc from scratch, check if there's a template for it — templates save time and keep docs consistent
💬 Use inline comments & @mentions to collaborate directly in docs and notify teammates without leaving the page
🤖 Run Agent Maintenance on important docs to detect drift and get suggested fixes routed to the right person for approval
✨ Use AI Assistants to turn your team's most common tasks into structured, repeatable workflows anyone can run consistently
