How it works
Every part of SOPCompass, explained step by step.
- Boards, libraries, SOPs, cards and stepsThe five levels every SOP sits in, what you can do at each one and who can change them.
- Editing SOPs: cards, steps and the card editorEverything Edit mode can do, from fixing a typo in place to adding screenshots with highlight boxes.
- Owners, review dates and tagsOwner, review interval, next review date and tags, set from Edit mode on any SOP.
- Version history and restoreHow versions are recorded, what History shows and how to restore an earlier version safely.
- Archive and delete SOPsArchiving is reversible and open to editors. Permanent deletion is for admins and owners, and only for archived SOPs.
- Move SOPs and libraries between pillarsEditors can reorganize by hand at any time. SOPCompass shows who else would gain or lose access before a move that changes it.
- Split one SOP into severalMove some of an SOP's cards into a new SOP in one step, and undo it from History if you change your mind.
- AI sortBusinessA Business plan tool for admins that files an existing library of SOPs into the pillars and departments in one pass.
- Departments and the department switcherEvery person opens SOPCompass on their own departments, with everything else one click away.
- The SOPCompass Capture Chrome extensionDo a task once in your browser and get a step for every click, choice and field, with a screenshot of each. Nothing is published until you review it.
- Screen recordings, video imports and "Watch this step"Show a process on screen and talk it through. You get written steps with screenshots, and every step can jump to its moment in the video.
- Import documents, audio and videoSOPCompass reads the file or video, drafts cards and steps and tells you what it dropped or inferred. You review before anything is created.
- Build with AI, the AI interviewThe AI asks one question at a time, drafts from your answers and never changes your workspace until you approve it.
- Voice interviewsTalk through a process and the AI interviewer listens, asks follow-ups and saves the transcript as you go.
- Ask and your question historyAsk answers only from SOPs you can open, cites them, and keeps a private history of your questions in each workspace.
- Comments and @mentionsComments let the people doing the work flag what is out of date on the exact step, and bring in the right person with an @mention.
- Assignments and due datesAssignments put an SOP in front of specific people and show who has completed it.
- QuizzesOne quiz per SOP, up to 20 questions, scored on the server so the answers stay hidden until someone passes.
- Policy sign-offFor handbooks, codes of conduct and safety rules. Signatures record the name, the time and the exact version signed, and cannot be edited.
- Share links and QR codesLinks for contractors, field staff and clients. Each one opens a single SOP, read-only, and counts its own opens.
- Embedding SOPs in other sitesAn embed shows one SOP in an iframe on another site. It uses a share link, so revoking the link takes the embed down too.
- Print, save as PDF and export to WordClean printable and Word copies of an SOP, without the app's buttons, comments or progress.
- Search and saved SOPsThree ways to find an SOP fast, plus a private list of your own saved SOPs.
- InsightsBusinessA Business plan report on whether your SOPs are actually being used, and what to write or review next.
- People, roles and the access gridThe People page for one workspace, and the All my workspaces grid for owners and admins who run several.
- The accountability chartA simple tree of seats. Each seat has a title, the person in it and what they answer for.
- Workspace settingsEverything under People, Settings & billing, for owners and admins.
- Plans and billingHow plan changes, credits, cancellation, resuming and ended subscriptions work, and who can manage them.
- Multiple workspacesBusinessA workspace per brand or location, each with its own pillars, people and permissions, all under one account.
- Library sharingBusinessA shared library is read everywhere it is shared and edited in one place, so every brand is always on the current version.
- The installable phone appSOPCompass installs from the browser like an app, opens in its own window and always loads your latest SOPs.
