What is document audit trail?

A document audit trail is a complete record of every action taken on a document: who did what, and when. It lets you prove a document’s history to an auditor, a regulator or a partner.

Webware creates this record automatically. It logs each view, change and signature, so the history is there when you need it.

The hidden cost of weak audit trail

When you can’t show a document’s history, audits get slow and stressful, and compliance risk grows.

The problem stays hidden until someone asks a question you can’t answer.

Audit prep takes forever

Webware platform has the document’s history from views to changes.

No one can prove which version is final

Which version was approved, by whom, and when? Who knows!

Compliance gaps stay hidden

Without a full log, problems show up at the worst moment or during the audit

Every action is recorded

Views, changes, approvals and signatures are logged automatically, for colleagues and external partners alike.

The final version is fixed

Collect the approvals and signatures you need, from colleagues and external partners alike.

Each step is logged as it happens.

03

Open any document and see its full history in one system, available for each and every record.  

You see only what your access rights allow.
