Selvian is a knowledge base and team wiki for small businesses. Write down how things are done here, from closing up to what to do when an alarm goes off, and anyone on the team can find it in seconds.
Plans are prepared on request for each team.
Example: searching “how do we close on Sundays” returns the page “Closing the shop on Sundays” with the matching passage marked.

In most small teams, the way things are done lives in someone’s head, a group chat from last spring, or a binder by the back door. Every new question becomes an interruption, and every departure takes a little of it away.
The same five questions, once each is written down in Selvian.
A Selvian page has an owner, a date to review it by, and steps anyone can follow. Link to other pages as you write, and each page shows what links to it, so the freezer log knows which procedures depend on it.

Threads are page links. Each page lists the pages that point to it.

Every page carries an owner and a review-by date. When the date passes, the page is marked for review and its owner is reminded, so nobody follows last year’s steps by accident.
Put together the pages a new starter should read, in the order that makes sense for the job. They work through it at their own pace; you see which pages they have opened.
Selvian keeps a version each time a page is saved. Put two versions side by side to see exactly which words changed, who changed them and when, and bring back an earlier one if an edit went wrong.

Set read or edit rights by role, space by space. Floor staff see the procedures they need, shift leads keep them current, and owners decide who belongs where. Anyone who can read a page can leave a comment on it.
