Introducing Roundtable Documents

Collaborative documents for interagency work, without the barriers.

Article Summary

  • Government work happens across agencies, jurisdictions, and partner organizations. But the documents that power that work are often trapped in tools built for a single organization.  
  • With Documents, Roundtable removes the access barriers that slow interagency work, giving teams a shared space to create and manage the SOPs, minutes, memos, and draft guidance that programs depend on.
  • By connecting documents to discussions, resources, people and AI workflows, Roundtable helps teams preserve institutional knowledge, keep partners on the same page, and move mission-critical work forward faster.
  • Government work runs on documents. These are the minutes, memos, brainstorms, and policy drafts constantly making the rounds. But common tools like Google Docs and Microsoft Word were built for teams working within a single organization. For interagency work, that means access barriers, reliance on email attachments, and scattered context that slows the mission.

    Today, we’re closing that gap with Roundtable Documents.

    Documents brings real-time, collaborative document creation and editing into the workspaces where agencies and their partners already meet, discuss, and find answers. No more switching tools, no broken links, no email attachments named “v4_FINAL_revised.”

    Cross-organization access: solved

    One of the hardest parts of government work is getting the right people in the room. Or interagency partners in the same document. That’s a critical gap that leaves housing officials without feedback from case managers, emergency response coordinators without a place for real-time information sharing, and state election leaders without a way to triage urgent requests from counties.

    Roundtable Documents removes those barriers by tying document access directly to workspace membership. If someone is in your workspace, they’re in your Document, letting agencies get work done without leaving anyone behind. 

    “Roundtable Documents are incredibly valuable for a group of this size. They create a centralized space for running notes, ongoing collaboration, and idea sharing, allowing conversations and feedback to continue moving forward even when schedules don’t allow for frequent meetings.”

    Jes Fowler Prichard, Association of Early Learning Coalitions

    Putting Documents to work

    Public servants are already using Roundtable Documents to run more structured meetings, collect attributed feedback on drafts, and keep cross-agency work on track — all in one place. EveryRoundtable Document becomes part of a connected, searchable body of work that gets more powerful alongside Roundtable AI

    When working files and institutional knowledge are shared, surfaced, and synced alongside AI workflows:

    • Program coordinators can turn discussion threads into quick-reference SOPs that field staff actually use. 
    • State leaders can distill policy into guidance that reaches county officials the moment it's ready. 
    • Working groups can push urgent resources to every partner instantly. All from one place. 

    A single platform powering interagency efforts

    Roundtable is transforming how government teams and their partners work together. Interagency, regional, and partner coordination deserves tools that reduce friction, preserve context, and move at the speed of the mission. Documents is the latest building block, and we’re just getting started.

    Roundtable Documents supports live editing, rich-text formatting, commenting, and DOCX and PDF exports. And it comes with the security and accessibility requirements that government teams expect: Roundtable is hosted on AWS GovCloud, SOC2 certified, and WCAG 2.2 compliant.

    Documents is available to all Roundtable customers. New to Roundtable? Schedule a walkthrough to see Documents alongside the rest of the platform — reach out to get started.
