# Document Control

> Version-controlled documents with a guarded approval path.

Document records with version history, a guarded submit/approve path, and attributable activity
logging.

<Note>
  Where document-control completion is enabled, the current draft can be edited, an in-review document
  can be rejected for rework, and an approved document can be downloaded as a controlled PDF, subject to
  the existing role and signature requirements. These controls remain unavailable when that feature is
  off. File attachment availability is separate from draft text editing.
</Note>

## Document Library

All controlled documents with status (Draft, In Review, Approved, Obsolete), version numbers, and
ownership. In regulated manufacturing, using the wrong version of an SOP is a compliance violation —
this ensures everyone works from the current approved version. Filter by status to find documents
needing review, and check for overdue approvals that could block production.

## Document Detail

Shows the current version, revision history, approval state, and any electronic-signature
manifestations. GMP document control depends on knowing exactly which version is effective, who
approved it, and whether operators need retraining after a revision. Open a document before acting on
it — confirm the version and status before using it for production, training, or audit evidence.

## Approval Workflow

Complete draft version records can move through guarded submit and credential-reverified approval.
Where document-control completion is enabled, an authorized independent reviewer can use **Reject**
to return the document for rework with a signature and reason. Confirm current-version completeness
before submission, and use the audit trail to review the recorded approval or rejection.

## Document categories

When document categories is enabled, choose an available organization category when creating a
document. On an existing draft or in-review document, use the category selector and **Save** to change
or clear its category, with a reason for change. Server permissions still apply.

Approved and obsolete documents do not offer this editing control. Follow the controlled revision
process instead. Administrators maintain category names in
[Settings](/invariant/reference/settings#document-categories); category availability is not a new
approval state or an automatic feature activation.

## Training against a document version

A version-specific training assignment requires an approved revision. Draft and in-review revisions
are refused, even if they are newer. Confirm the approved version before assigning training; this
release does not provide unrestricted simultaneous effective/draft publication.
