Document Management
Version control, smart folders, status workflows, and per-role access. Legal-grade document management built for transactions.
Why this matters
The old way
Filenames as version control
Draft_v3_final_REALLYfinal.pdf. No way to track who has the latest version or what changed between drafts.
- File naming conventions are the only version control
- No way to track who has the latest version
- Folder permissions are all-or-nothing
- Document review happens outside the system
The Lawden way
Version control that actually works
Every upload creates a new version. Status workflow shows exactly where each document is in the review cycle — with permissions at every level.
- Every upload creates a new version — never lose a draft
- Status workflow: draft → review → approved → final
- Per-document and per-folder permissions
- Inline comments and review requests
