Document control software

How it works

The right version, approved and read.

Approvals

Signed approval on every revision

Send a new revision for approval and the right approvers sign it, with a click or an electronic signature. Once approved it goes active and the old revision goes obsolete on its own.

  • Approval by click or e-signature
  • Old revision obsoleted automatically
  • Full revision history kept
Lifecycle

Every document follows the same lifecycle.

Drafts are reviewed and approved, the active revision is read and acknowledged, and periodic review starts the next revision before anything goes stale.

Acknowledgements

Proof people read it

Require acknowledgement from groups or individual people and see who has confirmed they have read and understood the current revision.

  • Assign to groups or people
  • Per-person status
  • Tied to the current revision
AI Editor

Edit procedures in plain words

Describe the change you want and the AI Editor drafts a redlined revision of the Word document. Bulk update changes many documents at once, each approved as normal.

  • Redlined drafts from an instruction
  • Bulk update across documents
  • Review highlights for approvers
Change requests

Feedback from the floor reaches the owner

Anyone, even a viewer, can request a change to a document. The owner approves or rejects it, and an approved request starts the next revision.

  • Requests from anyone
  • Approved or rejected by the owner
  • Starts the next revision
