We are very happy to announce LiveTechDocs beta release.

LiveTechDocs collaboration service lets you share, browse, and review XML-based documentation projects. We currently support DocBook XML (4.x), an industry standard for writing technical documentation.

In LiveTechDocs, all the project files, tasks, and activities are accessed securely in one place. Technical writers notify the team when the documentation is updated, reviewers attach their comments directly on the documentation page, and the project manager tracks and validates the comments and the project progress.

Interested to learn more? Register now or try our demo project!
