Everything a team needs to write it down and find it again.
Selvian is deliberately plain: pages, spaces and the few tools that keep them current. No assistant writes or answers for you. Your team writes; Selvian makes it findable.
01 · Full-text search
Type what you would ask a colleague.
Search looks through page titles and the full text of every page you are allowed to read, across all spaces. Results show the matching passage, so you can often stop reading at the result.
- Search from any page of the workspace
- Matching words marked inside each result
- Results limited to the spaces you can read
02 · Spaces
One space per team, per site, per room.
A space groups the pages of one team or one location. Each space has its own access, so the kitchen’s pages and the back office’s pages can sit in the same workspace without mixing.
- Spaces for teams, sites or departments
- Pages arranged in a tree inside each space
- Access set per space
03 · Links between pages
Write the link where the step is.
When a step depends on another procedure, link to it in the sentence. Every page shows the pages that link to it, so before you change a procedure you can see which other pages mention it.
- Links to any page you can read
- A list of pages linking here on every page
- Links sit in the text, next to the step that needs them
04 · Page templates
Start from the layout your team already uses.
Save the structure of a good page as a template: a checklist, a procedure with steps, a contact sheet. New pages start from it, so procedures across sites read the same way.
- Templates shared across the workspace
- Headings, steps and fields kept
- Any page can become a template
05 · Version history
Nothing is lost when someone edits.
A version is kept each time a page is saved. Compare two versions side by side, see who made each change and when, and restore an earlier version if you need to.
- Every saved version kept
- Side-by-side comparison
- Restore an earlier version
06 · Owner and review-by date
Every page has someone who answers for it.
Each page has a named owner and a date by which it should be reviewed. When that date passes, the page is marked for review for every reader, and the owner gets a reminder.
- One owner per page
- Review-by date on every page
- Pages past their date marked for review
07 · Onboarding paths
The first week, in reading order.
Group the pages a new starter should read into a path, in the order that makes sense for the role. The new starter works through it; the person who assigned it can see which pages have been opened.
- Paths per role or team
- Pages in a set order
- Progress visible to whoever assigned the path
08 · Read and edit rights
Clear rules about who changes what.
Rights are given to roles, space by space: read, edit, or manage access. People see the spaces their role allows and nothing else, and edits stay with the people who should make them.
- Read, edit and manage rights
- Set by role, for each space
- Workspace owners manage roles
What Selvian does not do
- It does not write pages or answer questions for you with an AI assistant.
- It is not a chat tool, a file drive or a task manager.
- It does not replace your existing systems; it holds the instructions for using them.

09 · Comments
Questions stay on the page they are about.
Anyone who can read a page can comment on it. Questions and suggestions sit next to the procedure, where the owner sees them and the next reader finds the answer.
