What do you like best about Shelf?

Lots of different options for content types (decision tree being a personal favorite), intuitive use, extensive filter options for search, Connections ability, Content Publication Process. Easy set up and navigation. Easy to add content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No options for cross-referencing materials; keyword searching (would love to see a way to search various keywords and not depend on filtering down options on left-have navigation); too many clicks in publication process; "Recommendations" doesn't really pick up on main article relevance; no option to contain gem types (we'd like to only allow people to choose 3). Stats/Insights: no ability to differentiate between specific teams; no ability to see what gems have been created or how many in a overview way. Editing/content Writing Tools: limited options for formatting. Permissions only being allowed on the top-level of folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content organization; Content Publication Process allows us to review for continuity; Information retrieval in an easy manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
