Where to Keep It
The best documentation is the one you'll actually maintain. Pick the format that has the least friction for you:
- Notion page: Easy to organize, searchable, can include templates
- Google Doc: Easy to share, good for collaboration, maybe too open-ended
- Comment in the workflow itself: Stays with the workflow, but harder to read at a glance
- Text file in a folder with your exported backups: Simple, version-control-friendly if you use Git
I recommend creating a simple Notion workspace or Google Folder called "Automation Portfolio" and keeping all your documentation in one place. One source of truth for your documentation, just like we talked about for data.
