In short: Products represent the real-world products your organization creates or supports. By adding products to your Workplace, you can map your portfolio into the app, centralizing information and resources. Timebook also lets you link Teams to Products, making it easy to manage responsibilities and highlight contributions. Each Product includes a dedicated Wiki for focused documentation, complementing the Workplace’s global Wiki.
Product objects in Timebook are in-app representations of the real-world products your organization creates, manages, or supports. By adding Products to your Timebook Workplace, you can map your company’s portfolio directly into the app. This allows you to centralize information, workflows, and resources related to each Product, making it easier to track progress and streamline collaboration.
In addition to creating Products, you can mark Teams as product-related to highlight their direct involvement. This helps you clearly manage the groups responsible for each Product’s development or support. Each Product also features a dedicated Wiki module, providing a focused space for documentation and knowledge-sharing. While the Workplace’s global Wiki serves as a hub for organization-wide information, Product Wikis are focused on more specific scopes.
When creating a Team in Timebook, you can choose [Product] as the Team type. This allows you to link the Team to a specific Product object, showing a clear connection between the Team’s work and the product it supports.
In Timebook, you can manage all Product objects in their dedicated module. This gives you a quick overview of all existing Products and allows you to create new ones quickly. Any member of your Workplace can create a new Product object.
You can access Product-related data directly from the Navigator.
Open the [Products] module in the [Workplace] section of the Navigator to view all Products across your Timebook Workplace.
Each Product in this module is shown as a card displaying key details such as the name, a short description, and the avatar. Clicking a Product card opens its detailed view and dedicated Wiki. See below for more information on navigating and managing Product cards.
Additionally, Product contributors can hover over a card to access the [...] menu, where the [Edit] option is available. You can define Product contributors when creating a new Product. See below for more information on Product creation.
As a Product Manager, the [Products] module lets you document each product’s goals and updates in its Wiki, keeping your team and stakeholders aligned.
As an Engineering Team Lead, linking your team to a Product keeps documentation and priorities accessible. This ensures alignment with Product Managers and streamlines development efforts.
You can create Product objects in the dedicated [Products] module, available at the Workplace level. You can access the module through the Navigator on the left.
To create a Product:
Open the [Products] module in the Navigator.
Click [Add a Product] in the top-right corner of the module.
Give your Product a meaningful name and description. You can also upload an image to use as the Product’s avatar.
In the [Contributors] section, assign team members from your Workplace. Only contributors will be able to edit the product’s details and its resources, such as wiki content.
Click [Create] to confirm. Your Product’s card is added to the list. Open the card to view and manage the Product’s resources.
Open a Product card to view and manage the Product’s resources. See below for more information on available options.
Each product card is organized into tabs, making it easier to manage resources. Each tab is designed for a specific purpose:
About
You can use this tab to add text, images, and references to provide additional Product information. Think of this tab as a canvas for describing and showcasing your Project.
Wiki
Use this tab to organize and manage key documentation, policies, and knowledge resources specific to this product. All Workplace members can access Product Wiki content.
In the top-left corner of the card, breadcrumbs help you navigate related content. You can use them to quickly jump back to the [Products] module at the Workplace level to see all the Products in one place.
In the top-right corner of the card, you have two additional options to keep your Product accessible:
[Add to Bookmarks] saves the Product for future reference. You can find it by opening the [Bookmarks] module in the Navigator.
[Pin to Navigator] adds the Product to the [Pinned items] area of the Navigator. You can quickly jump to the pinned Product using the menu on the left, no matter where you are in Timebook.
We have a dedicated article on how to use pins and bookmarks to keep your important objects always within easy reach.

The [About] tab functions like a page in Timebook Documents. For more details on working with page content, see
Think of this tab as a product-focused knowledge base that ensures your team can quickly find and reference important information. While Product Wikis are designed for focused documentation, they can effectively complement the larger, organization-wide Wiki. In terms of functionality, the Product Wiki is nearly identical to the Workplace Wiki. For more information on editing and structuring their content, see
