Document lifecycles

Tip

Document management is not just a matter of convenience; it's a critical element of effective governance, risk management, and compliance. It ensures that employees or customers have access to the correct information at the right time in a secure and organized manner, ultimately contributing to the success and longevity of a company.

Version Control: Document management systems often provide version control features. Policy changes, features, updates, and procedures can be tracked, and previous versions can be retrieved. This is essential for auditing and ensuring that changes are properly documented.

Efficiency: Well-organized document management systems make it easier and quicker to find and distribute policies, procedures, knowledge articles, and updates. This improves operational efficiency and reduces the time and effort required to locate and share critical information.

Using Comala Publishing, pages are updated in a source space, and the Confluence space permissions manage access. All the pages in the space can be published in a single process when ready. Or, simply publish an individual page update.

If a review and approval process is required in the source space, Comala Document Management can be installed to manage the approval and review process for your document lifecycle and, together with Comala Publishing, is used to automate the publishing of your pages to the published space.

The published Confluence space can also be linked to Jira Service Management and used to help your customers by suggesting relevant articles when they raise a request in the portal.
