Working with documents means collaborating on and creating the kinds of information resources that are necessary for getting work done. This is particularly important when working on projects that have many moving parts, such as creating software. Documentation helps everyone stay on the same page, and saves time trying to figure out instructions or process steps that someone else has already documented.
In general, documents, specifically documents created by organizations or other professional settings, adhere to certain conventions and standard practices. This creates a more transparent and consistent documentation workflow and ecosystem. Documents can be structured or semistructured. For instance handwritten letters, note or a tabular list-based form. In general, though documents are typically a mix of text and other non-textual elements such as images table, graphs, and tables.
Document collaboration is usually about grouping teams into groups with different access rights and permissions to documents so that each group can concentrate on their own tasks without worrying about accidentally changing or overwriting others’ work. Version control is also important to keep track of and restore older versions of documents. It also permits the synchronous and asynchronous communication in the document. By creating guidelines of this type you will give your employees the best chance of being successful when working with the documents of your company.
