What’s the difference between a document and a page and when to use each?
It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. The differences are based on these two things:
Access control: Do you need to restrict access to different parts of your system by different users/groups? (e.g. make the Task Management piece accessible to all, but Invoicing only to higher management.) If that’s the case, you’ll have to create separate docs, because sharing a doc doesn’t work any more granular than at the doc level. Locking, hiding sections, filtering are not actual security features — any viewer can copy the doc, disable those, and see all the data.
Document size: If you’re managing a lot of interconnected data that you want to keep indefinitely, you may run into doc size issues in form of
slow calculations 10
⁠
and
failing Cross-doc and API access 5
⁠
. If you anticipate that happening in your setup, it’s better to split functionality into multiple docs.

With this in mind, I need to create separate documents for PRC meeting notes. That way I can share them with Seth and Randi if need be.
My Salesforce master document should be separate document.

Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.
Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
CtrlP
) instead.
