The kinds of page
| Kind | Who is on it | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Me | you | Your own work, your drafts, anything private |
| 1:1 | you and one other | A reporting relationship, in both directions |
| Peer | you and one other | A working relationship with no reporting line |
| Group | anyone | A piece of work, a project, a subject |
| Team | a manager and their people | A team’s work, aligned to its goals |
What the type actually changes
Not much, deliberately — it is one primitive, not five. Three things differ:
- Goals and cadence. A 1:1 and a Team page carry goals, each with an owner, and a meeting rhythm. The others do not.
- Who can edit what. On a 1:1, each person edits only their own lines. Everywhere else anybody on the page can edit anything on it.
- Your own page publishes nothing. It is the one type with no audience, so a line written there is simply a line.
Changing a page’s kind
You cannot. A page’s type is decided when it is made, because the type is a fact about who is on it and what they are to each other, rather than a setting. Make the page you want and move the lines.
