What are handbooks in Monotree?

Handbooks are the knowledge base of the Monotree employee app. A handbook is a set of chapters with text, images, video and documents, and it replaces the binder in the back office, the shared drive nobody can find, and the PDF that was out of date when it was sent.

Employees search across all the handbooks they have access to and get the answer on their phone, in the middle of a shift. The search also reads the text inside attached PDF and Word documents, and the AI chatbot answers questions from the same handbooks.

Each handbook is targeted at the groups it concerns, and when you update a chapter, everyone has the new version at once. You can see which handbooks are read, which are not, and what employees search for.

  • Give employees instant access to product info, guides and company policies

  • Reuse and link to handbooks from everywhere in the app

  • HQ has access to detailed stats on most searched and used handbooks

What you can do with handbooks

Write it once, keep it current, and let everyone find it.

How handbooks work

From scattered documents to one source your employees trust.

  1. 01

    Write the content

    Create chapters in the CMS, attach the documents you already have, or let the CMS Assistant draft a handbook for you to review. Choose the groups it is for and publish.

  2. 02

    Employees search and read

    Targeted employees are notified about a new handbook, and find it again through search whenever they need it.

  3. 03

    Keep it up to date

    Usage and search statistics show what is read and what is missing, and the content audit lists the handbooks that have not been edited for a long time.

What customers say

Read the story

Everything is consolidated, but I have an extra love for eliminating everything in PDF format. Old documents lying around in some folder, it's absolutely fantastic to be able to gather everything and know that it's live and that you can get an update in a second, that's the best.

Questions about handbooks

  1. What can we use handbooks for?

    Anything employees need to look up: staff policies, opening and closing routines, recipes and product information, safety procedures, guides to equipment, and practical information about each location.

  2. Can employees search in attached documents?

    Yes. The text in attached PDF and Word documents is included in the search, so an employee finds the answer even when it sits in an attachment.

  3. Can we move our existing handbook into Monotree?

    Yes. Existing PDF and Word documents can be attached to a chapter and are searchable right away, and we help you move your content over as part of the personal onboarding.

  4. Can different departments have different handbooks?

    Yes. Every handbook is targeted at the departments, job titles or custom groups you choose, and a handbook without groups is shown to everyone.

  5. How do we know whether handbooks are being read?

    Statistics show the most and least read handbooks, the reading time, and the terms employees search for most. That tells you both what works and which answers are missing.

  6. Do we pay extra for handbooks?

    No. Monotree has one price per user, and it covers every feature including handbooks, along with AI, integrations, personal onboarding and live chat support. There are no modules or add-ons.

  7. Can employees use handbooks on both iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Your employees use Monotree as your own branded app on iPhone and Android, and administrators manage content and settings in a web-based CMS.

Put the handbook where your employees are Searchable, on every phone.
