Custom Template + Worksheet = A Great Documentation Combo
Custom documentation templates and documentation worksheets are powerful on their own -- but pairing them together is where things really click.

Introducing Documentation Worksheets
Quill now includes customizable Documentation Worksheets to help therapists handle repetitive parts of their notes faster -- without recording sessions.
Guide
Documentation Worksheets Guide
Worksheets give you a faster way to provide therapy session details when generating documentation -- just check a few boxes instead of typing or recording everything out.
Spin up a fresh worksheet from a sensible starting set of questions -- then customize from there. Here's the walkthrough.
Add new questions, change the existing ones, switch between multiple choice and free text, and reorder until your worksheet flows the way you'd like it to.
Once your worksheet is set up, using it is fast -- just tap the answers that apply, optionally add audio or text, and generate.
Worksheets aren't just for progress notes -- you can build a worksheet tailored to each of your custom documentation templates.
Make copies, rename, switch between them, or delete the ones you don't need anymore. The basics of keeping your worksheet library tidy.
Guide
Recording Audio Guide

Team Administration Guide
Everything you need to know about running a team at Quill -- the difference between roles, how to invite folks, and how to keep your team tidy as it grows.

Sometimes an invite gets ignored, lost in spam, or just goes stale. Here's how to nudge it back to life -- or call it off entirely.
When a teammate leaves your practice -- or just doesn't need Quill anymore -- here's how to remove them and what happens next.
