Document control software for regulated teams
Controlled versions, gated review and approval with e-signatures, a full change log, and an immutable snapshot of exactly what was approved. Everything an audit expects, produced as you work.
Control, review, and prove it later
Controlled versions
A published, draft, and fix numbering model, with the ability to promote or apply a fix to a prior version.
Review and approval
A publishing workflow gated on resolved comments and completed e-signatures, so nothing is released until it is signed off.
Change log
A row-level change log within each draft, so every change is attributable and reviewable.
Immutable snapshots
Every publish captures a locked PDF snapshot, so you always have the exact document that was approved.
Revision history
A revision table generated from the published history of the document, ready to drop into a controlled document.
Traceability included
Document control and requirements traceability live in the same place, so control and coverage never drift apart.
Control that produces its own evidence
Document control is not about storing files. It is about being able to show, later, which version was approved, who approved it, and what changed since. Shared drives and wikis cannot do that: they have no controlled version model and no immutable record of sign-off. Traceable produces that evidence as a by-product of normal work, so control is not a separate chore and an audit is an export.
This matters most for regulated teams. See how it fits medical device documentation, or why teams move off Confluence for requirements.
Common questions
What is document control software?
Document control software manages how controlled documents are versioned, reviewed, approved, and retained, so that at any point you can show which version was approved, by whom, and what changed. It is a core requirement of quality systems such as ISO 13485.
How does Traceable control document versions?
Traceable uses a published, draft, and fix numbering model with a row-level change log. Publishing is gated on resolved comments and completed e-signatures, and each publish captures an immutable PDF snapshot of exactly what was approved.
Does Traceable support electronic signatures?
Yes. Review and approval includes electronic signatures and a full audit trail, designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 style workflows. Formal Part 11 clearance is on the roadmap, so we describe these features as supporting your process rather than certifying it.
How is this different from a shared drive or Confluence?
A shared drive or wiki has no controlled version model, no gated approval, and no immutable record of what was signed off. Traceable is built to produce the controlled, audit-ready history that regulated work needs. See the comparison with Confluence.
