STEPdoc

What is STEPdoc?

Companion for Business and Companion for Delivery come with STEPdoc, which generates the online documentation for your project, making it easily accessible to your team and stakeholders (multi-tenant platform).

It is possible for each client to publish 5 different documentations (tags) per c4d/c4b license.

Your documentation is then accessible through this url: https://companion-stepdoc.cantor.fr
