Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Document Management System for your business. Start with one organization, one document category and a representative revision that needs independent review.
Each source-linked version belongs to a parent document. The parent carries the current status and revision; earlier versions remain linked for review.
A Document Reviewer records a decision against the source revision. The Publishing Manager then checks eligibility before approving publication.
Yes. A review decision can be returned with a reason. The controller can prepare a corrected revision and submit that source item for another decision.
Evidence documents link to their source document and can include an attachment, external reference, verification state and verifier.
Follow-up actions have an assignee, due date and status. The overview page shows unresolved work beside document status.
Inspect the operation run, numbered steps and attempt reference. Confirm the original destination outcome before retrying or recording a correction.
A correction creates a successor version under the same parent. Earlier versions and the status history remain available to authorized staff.
The document carries a retention date and archived status. Agree the policy and decision owner before acting on a date.
Yes, agree its source IDs and field mapping, then configure the connection and test the external receipt and access boundary.
Start free, then use Proto to change fields, steps and approvals before your team goes live.
