Secure cloud-based authoring, collaboration, workflow and project management for technical writers and documentation teams. Login to MadCap Central
NEW 2021 RELEASE
Image and Table Support for Cloud-based Contribution and Review
You can now add images as well as add and edit tables when working on contributions and reviews in the cloud using MadCap Central’s lightweight editor.
MadCap Central’s simple review editor toolbar makes getting changes from your SMEs a snap. And the added ability for SMEs to add tables and images to the files they’re reviewing makes the process still more powerful but still easy to use.

NEW 2020 RELEASES
Host and Publish Secure Private Output with Password Protected User Access
You can now host and publish private output that requires a user to log in using an email address and password credentials. Without credentials, users cannot access the site, making this option ideal for internal employees or customer documentation that should not be accessed by the public.
Authors, SMEs and Viewers can access any privatized output with login credentials.
Providing secure password-protected access for viewers and SMEs to our Flare-generated content hosted on MadCap Central has been a game changer for us. We are now more efficient and self-reliant as a team, eliminating dependencies on our internal IT departments.

User Types Now Include Author, Subject Matter Expert and Viewer
The new user type “Viewer” has been enabled to allow individuals who are not Authors or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to gain access to MadCap Central and restricted outputs. Viewers are granted access by the Author in order to view the password protected outputs.
Site Management for Multiple Domains, Vanity URLs and Live Status
You can now manage your sites hosted on MadCap Central in a single location. Manage multiple domains, vanity URLs, set site status to “Live” and more.
