I switched to a small agency and I can’t believe I’m saying this but I am HAPPY. I am feeling CREATIVE. My bosses are supportive and smart. My clients (national brand names) are appreciative, collaborative, polite and smart. It exists but I’m still pinching myself every day.

Has anyone found an especially useful digital format for brand guidelines other than the ol' fashioned PDF?

Looking for something more like a living document.

Alternatives I'm considering:
-webpage(s) on company intranet
-a platform resembling a document 'tree' The HR team uses something for all their various memos and policies. Ugly but I like the modular approach.

My issue with PDFs is old versions linger in people's hard drives and inboxes. It's also less practical to make small updates
