About READMEs for enterprises
To help people understand what is happening in your enterprise, you should create a README. For example, you can use a README to help members learn about different organizations in the enterprise, to share links to important resources, or to communicate information about the settings and policies of your enterprise.
The README is displayed on the enterprise's "Overview" page, which is the landing page you see when you navigate to the enterprise. This page is only visible to members of the enterprise.
You can also create READMEs for organizations in your enterprise, visible either publicly or only to members. For more information, see Customizing your organization's profile.
