What is Archbee?

Archbee is tightening the controls around docs it already publishes, not changing what docs are.

Archbee's recent entries are small, concrete additions to its documentation editor and publishing layer: RSS feeds for hybrid and password-protected spaces, export straight from the editor, team-level SAML and OIDC inheritance, and branch history and navigation fixes. Public docs can now return Markdown responses, and PDF output gained navigable bookmarks. None of it changes the product's category; it reduces friction for teams already running docs on it.

What is Skedda?

Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.

Archbee vs Skedda: editorial side-by-side

Archbee is tightening the controls around docs it already publishes, not changing what docs are.

◆ Current state

Archbee's recent entries are small, concrete additions to its documentation editor and publishing layer: RSS feeds for hybrid and password-protected spaces, export straight from the editor, team-level SAML and OIDC inheritance, and branch history and navigation fixes. Public docs can now return Markdown responses, and PDF output gained navigable bookmarks. None of it changes the product's category; it reduces friction for teams already running docs on it.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads stand out. Branching keeps getting attention (history, navigation, per-branch icons), which points to docs managed like code with review before publish. Access control is moving up to the team level, so larger organizations can administer many spaces without repeating SSO setup for each one.

◆ Prediction

Expect more branch-workflow and team-admin work; the Markdown responses for public docs hint at machine-readable output, but the entries are too thin to say whether that grows into a larger feature.

Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.

◆ Current state

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.

◆ Where it's heading

Skedda is shifting from a booking front-end to a source of workplace attendance and visitor data. Each recent release removes an export step, either by surfacing the data in the app or by exposing it programmatically. Visitor management is getting steady attention alongside desk and room booking.

◆ Prediction

The API is likely to widen beyond read-only bookings, probably to occupancy or visitor data, since Skedda said more capabilities are planned. Expect more visitor-management work to follow the Visits redesign.
