SmartDocs in SmartSuite work as a field within the platform, not a separate document tool like Notion or Google Docs. This approach lets you embed rich content directly into your data structure instead of linking out to external files.
This here is a smart document. That's what SmartSuite calls this long form text on steroids thing. This is basically the closest comparison to what you might have in the Freestyle page editor in Notion or in a ClickUp document or in a Google Document. It's all baked into this one field. Now, one thing that can sometimes catch people off guard about what I just showed you inside a smartsuite of using the Smart documents as your note taking system is it's not really a document. This is functionally and actually a field in the SmartSuite universe, and that's a lot different than what you might see in other tools. While this is very comparable in features to what you might have on a Notion page or a ClickUp Doc or a Google Document, it is definitely not the same interface that some people are used to, and that can cause some uncomfortable feelings. But hear me out. Having your documents as fields actually have some secret superpowers that I think many of us would actually come to appreciate if we give it a chance.
