<h2>Pros and Cons</h2>
<div class="detailed-pros-cons">
<article class="pro"><h3>What reviewers appreciate</h3><p><strong>Everything in one place.</strong> Teams connect meeting notes, tasks, project briefs, and reference material without jumping between separate apps.</p><p><strong>Adaptable workflows.</strong> Templates and databases can evolve as a project changes instead of forcing a fixed process.</p><p><strong>Strong collaboration.</strong> Comments, mentions, and page history make async handoffs easier to understand.</p></article>
<article class="con"><h3>Where reviewers see tradeoffs</h3><p><strong>Initial setup takes thought.</strong> A blank workspace can be intimidating, and poorly planned structures become difficult to maintain.</p><p><strong>Mobile performance varies.</strong> Large pages and databases may load more slowly on a phone.</p><p><strong>Permissions can get complex.</strong> Growing teams need clear ownership and sharing rules.</p></article>
