Consequently, it is relatively simple to create and modify text documents, spreadsheets, “Slides” presentations directly online.

The Notion is a 100% English-language platform that offers multiple marketing tools so your teams can collaborate. Like Google Drive, Notion allows you to create documents that can be exchanged between members of the same team. However, where Google Drive is only used to create documents, the Notion platform also helps manage your knowledge base. In addition, it also allows you to manage your projects and tasks in a few clicks and manage your databases. Notion offers a natural resource in a limited or full free version for $4 per month. Thus, it allows you to centralize all your documents, appointments, data, and tasks to be carried out.
