Decision Guide
Who Should Use DraftView
Use this page to make a fast, honest decision. DraftView is best for teams that already run docs in GitHub pull requests and need a human checkpoint for AI-generated or cross-functional documentation changes.
Strong Fit
- •Documentation source-of-truth is in GitHub repositories.
- •Reviewers include PM, legal, SMEs, or executives who avoid raw Markdown diffs.
- •You want approved feedback to become native GitHub Suggested Changes.
- •AI agents generate docs PRs and humans need to verify before merge.
- •You need an auditable sign-off or oversight record.
Likely Non-Fit
- •You need a docs hosting platform or CMS replacement.
- •Your team authoring workflow is wiki-first, not PR-first.
- •You only need code review for engineering files.
- •All reviewers are already technical and happy in GitHub diffs.
- •You are evaluating payment commerce stacks, not documentation review workflows.
5-Question Qualification Check
If at least 3 answers are "yes", DraftView is usually a strong candidate.
- 1. Do docs changes primarily flow through GitHub pull requests?
- 2. Do non-technical reviewers need to suggest edits or sign off?
- 3. Are you receiving AI-authored docs PRs that need human verification?
- 4. Do you lose time reconciling feedback from Docs/Email/PDF back to GitHub?
- 5. Do you need exportable records of who reviewed what and when?
Practical Alternative Guidance
- • Choose GitHub PR Review for source-level engineering review.
- • Choose Confluence/Notion/GitBook for authoring and knowledge hubs.
- • Choose DraftView when you need PR-native human review and sign-off for docs.
