It is a fact of life on projects that documents will get revised.

Ensuring revised documents are distributed to those who need them is a key feature of the QDMS Document Control system.

Revised documents are processed through the Master Document register, with the previous revision being automatically archived, to the Document History file. The document history file is a complete and auditable history of all revisions of all documents.

The beauty of the document history file is that users don't have to concern themselves with how it gets built and maintained. This function is completely automated. Users just continue to process new and revised documents through the master document register, and QDMS takes care of the rest.

If a revised document has been previously issued to one or more recipients, Pending Transmittals are created automatically to keep these recipients up to date with the latest revision.
