What is BookStack?

BookStack is an open-source platform for creating and managing documentation and knowledge bases. It was created to provide a simple and elegant solution for organizing information in a way that is easy to access and update.

With BookStack, users can create books, chapters, and pages, as well as add media files and embed external content such as YouTube videos and Google Maps. The platform also provides tools for managing user permissions, allowing administrators to control who can view and edit content.
