I gave some further thought to your Wordpress suggestion and I did find some themes and plugins that are specific for knowledge bases. So I will give them a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, most BPMN software is for diagramming. Not the solution for what describe.
I agree with Dr. Andus’ suggestion of ConnectedText—what you described (navigation bar, click-through to content) is easily done on a wiki platform. Since you want others to see this info, if you do not have your own web hosting platform to upload HTML from ConnectedText to—then look for a service that offers MediaWiki hosting. MediaWiki is the underlying software for Wikipedia and there are numerous MediaWiki hosting services offering private wikis.

When I search for any BPN software, I primarily get the drawing software, not documentation software.

If you find some of these themes and plugins satisfactorily useful, I’d be grateful if you can mention them here; admittedly, I had not thought of using WordPress for such applications but it makes sense given its flexibility.
I would have probably resorted to Plone https://docs.plone.org/ or Confluence https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/features The latter is promoted heavily in respect to it collaborative features, but I have found it very capable for producing documentation even when one is working alone.

Some more information on documentation applications based on Confluence http://www.intelligentcontentconference.com/technology-behind-language-content-strategy/

Hi Garland,
I’ve just found another piece of software that might suit your circumstances.
It’s a rather neat wiki concept called Nuclino (http://www.nuclino.com); the basic version doesn’t cost anything, allows unlimited team members and gives you 5GB of storage: really not bad.
It might work for you, it might not. Looks worth a look, however!
All the best,
Bill
