Documentation scattered across tools costs more than it looks.
When project knowledge lives in Confluence, Google Docs, email, and chat threads with no connection to the project context it describes, onboarding slows, questions repeat, and version history becomes unclear. Teams cannot tell whether a document is current, outdated, or superseded by something written elsewhere.
In plain words
What is the Redmineflux Knowledge Base Plugin?
Redmineflux Knowledge Base is a structured documentation system built natively inside Redmine. Create pages, organise them into Spaces and Folders, and navigate all documentation from the sidebar — with every page linkable to specific Redmine issues for direct operational context.
Documentation that belongs inside your project tool.
Every article sits next to the issues it supports. Every team member finds answers in the same tool where work gets done. Teams that previously maintained a separate wiki alongside Redmine can consolidate documentation into one environment – eliminating synchronisation overhead and the context-switching cost of maintaining two tools.
The result is faster onboarding, clearer process documentation, and a version-controlled knowledge layer that grows with the team rather than drifting out of sync.
What your team gains
Documentation that people actually find.
Click any shift to see what changes in the product.
01
New team members onboard without asking repeatedly.
When the relevant SOPs, runbooks, and guides are centralised in Redmine and organised in Spaces and Folders, new engineers navigate directly to what they need without asking three senior colleagues in the first week. Onboarding time decreases when the knowledge is structured and linked to the actual work.
02
Documentation stays connected to the project context.
Articles link directly to the Redmine projects and issues they relate to. When a team member opens an issue, the relevant guides surface in the same view – not buried in a separate application that requires a separate search.
03
Knowledge standards apply consistently across distributed teams.
Remote and distributed teams work from the same documented standards stored in Redmine. Knowledge drift – where different team members follow different undocumented conventions – becomes addressable when the standard is written and accessible.
04
Version history makes documentation traceable, not just findable.
Every published version is recorded with author, timestamp, and an optional publish comment. Previous versions restore with a single click — the page publishes immediately with the restored content, and a new version entry records the action. Version history keeps documentation traceable, not just findable.
05
No new tool to adopt, no second login to manage.
Documentation lives inside the Redmine environment the team already uses daily. No additional login, no separate subscription, no synchronisation work required to keep documentation aligned with project reality.

Frequently asked
Questions before you install.
The questions teams actually ask before adopting Knowledge Base. If yours isn't here, check pricing or contact support.
Can articles be linked to specific issues or projects?
Yes. In the KB page editor, type # followed by an issue number to link that page to a Redmine issue. The linked page then appears in the Related Knowledge Base Pages section at the bottom of the issue’s detail view — so team members see relevant documentation directly from their issue context.
How does search work in the Knowledge Base Plugin?
The plugin includes a client-side sidebar search that filters spaces, folders, and pages by name as you type. Results appear instantly without a page reload. The search is scoped to the current project’s knowledge base — there is no global search across all projects.
Can access to articles be restricted by role or project?
Yes. The Knowledge Base module exposes three permissions assigned through Redmine’s standard role system: view_knowledgebase (view published pages), manage_knowledgebase_spaces (create and manage spaces), and manage_knowledgebase_pages (create, edit, publish, and delete pages). Permissions are configured per role at the project level — not per individual page or folder.
Which Redmine versions are supported?
The Redmineflux Knowledge Base Plugin supports all Redmine versions. Compatibility is verified with each plugin update.

$299 one-time for self-hosted – 1 year of support included. Support renewal after 1 year 30% of plugin price. Bundle with the Project Management Bundle ($2,456 one-time) for Knowledge Base + Gantt Chart + Agile Board + Timesheet + Issue Template + Custom Dashboard + more. Or hosted at $2.99/user/month via Redmineflux Cloud Standard and above. See the pricing section above.
