I may be in an unusual position of being able to dictate this but I always push for non-coders to use git and markdown... design assets are checked in to a repo, blog posts use markdown and are pushed to a Netlify site, marketers can tweak language and images directly in our Vue app (partly chosen for Vue's fantastic accessibility), etc.

TBH I have not pushed non-coders to document stuff in git / markdown, only the developers do that.

Free, friendly tools like Github desktop, VS code, Netlify CMS help a ton. It also helps that marketers, designers, product managers are all technically inclined positions, where hiring smart people pays off.

There's a tradeoff as it takes more time to preach and teach the use of these tools, but I see it as a good investment for workflow and in people. Being able to wrangle git is a great skill!
