Vardoc, a Drupal distribution, is a knowledge base system, a wiki system, and a document management system designed to host a massive amount of content in a structured and easy-to-find format. With Vardoc, your content can be easily structured, and scheduled. It allows you to personalize your content easily and contribute your expertise in the knowledge base.
You can build a connected organization, product, or knowledge area to allow everyone involved to find the answers they seek and contribute their expertise in the knowledge base with the help of Vardoc.

What makes Vardoc wonderful?
Search
A by default powerful search which searches through the vast repository of the documents and provides the relevant results. The search mechanism is already set and tailored for the knowledge base system by prioritizing headings and titles more than the content's body.
Editorial features
The distribution supports editorial features which help keep the documents up to date. The editing mode is also tailored for quick review and vetting of information. Vardoc’s media library is full of interesting features that provide an appealing way to display media libraries. Vardoc also allows one image to have many previews with the help of image cropping and settings present within the CMS. And, it provides simple and easy ways to create and manage new and existing pages respectively.
Taxonomy
Being a knowledge base, the website at its core provides powerful features to structure the framework in which the documents are to be stored. This gives the user the power to tailor the structure and present the data in a hierarchy which best suits the organization.
User Management

You don’t need to worry about losing the important experience that is needed when a team member retires or leaves. Vardoc helps you to engage users from various departments to use the information that is needed in one space.
