How Document Control Works Inside Aura?
Aura Document Management helps quality and compliance teams control the complete document lifecycle — from document creation and approval to version control, access permissions, archiving, retention, and audit trail review. This ensures employees use the latest approved documents while older versions remain traceable for audits and compliance reviews.
| Document Control Area | How Aura Helps |
|---|---|
| Document Creation | Authorized users can create documents, templates, manuals, SOPs, policies, work instructions, or quality records in a centralized system. |
| Version Control | Each update creates a controlled document version, helping teams avoid confusion between old and latest files. |
| Approval Workflow | Documents can be routed to the right approval authority before they are published to users. |
| User Permissions | Access can be controlled by user, user group, department, location, or role so only authorized people can view or edit documents. |
| Document Archive | Older versions can be archived automatically, keeping a historical record for audits and legal or compliance reference. |
| Retention Management | Retention rules can be aligned with company policy, ISO requirements, customer requirements, or regulatory needs. Avoid mentioning fixed retention years unless Aura has that setting confirmed. |
| Audit Trail | Aura records document changes, updates, approvals, and user activity so auditors can review what changed, who changed it, and when. |
