**[Atlassian](https://daily.dev/sources/atlassian)** · 12 min read · 70 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Software documentation tools help developers and teams share knowledge effectively across code, APIs, projects, and end-users. The article categorizes documentation into four types (developer, project, marketing/sales, and end-user) and reviews eight tools across different categories: code documentation (GitHub, Confluence, Jira), API documentation (Swagger UI, Document360), help authoring (Adobe RoboHelp, MadCap Flare), and video collaboration (Loom). Key evaluation criteria include rich-text editing, version control, organization features, collaboration capabilities, templates, integrations, and security. Each tool is assessed with features, pros, cons, and pricing information.
