## Descripción

A document management and version control plugin for WordPress that allows teams
of any size to collaboratively edit files and manage their workflow.

### What is WP Document Revisions?

[WP Document Revisions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-document-revisions/) is
a [document management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_management_system)
and [version control](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control) plugin. Built
for time-sensitive and mission-critical projects, teams can collaboratively edit
files of any format — text documents, spreadsheets, images, sheet music… anything—
all the while, seamlessly tracking the document’s progress as it moves through your
organization’s existing workflow.

#### WP Document Revisions is three things

 1. **📁 Document Management System (DMS)** – Track, store, and organize files of any
    format
 2. **👥 Collaboration Tool** – Empower teams to collaboratively draft, edit, and refine
    documents
 3. **🔒 File Hosting Solution** – Publish and securely deliver files to teams, clients,
    or the public

See [**the full list of features**](https://wp-document-revisions.github.io/wp-document-revisions/features/)

### Features

#### Overview

**Powerful Collaboration Tools** – _With great power does not have to come great
complexity._ Based on a simple philosophy of putting powerful but intuitive tools
in the hands of managers and content creators, WP Document Revisions leverages many
of the essential WordPress features that, for more than eight years, have been tested
and proven across countless industries — posts, attachments, revisions, taxonomies,
authentication, and permalinks — to make collaborating on the creation and publication
of documents a natural endeavor. Think of it as an [open-source and more intuitive version](http://ben.balter.com/2011/04/04/when-all-you-have-is-a-pair-of-bolt-cutters/)
of the popular Microsoft collaboration suite, [Sharepoint.](http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/default.aspx)

**Document History** – At each step of the authoring process, WP Document Revisions
gives you an instant snapshot of your team’s progress and the document’s history.
It even gives you the option to revert back to a previous revision — so don’t fret
if you make a mistake — or receive updates on changes to the document right in your
favorite feed reader.

**Access Control** – Each document is given a persistent URL (e.g., yourcompany.
com/documents/2011/08/TPS-Report.doc) which can be private (securely delivered only
to members of your organization), password protected (available only to those you
select such as clients or contractors), or public (published and hosted for the 
world to see). If you catch a typo and upload a new version, that URL will continue
to point to the latest version, regardless of how many changes you make.

**Enterprise Security** – Worried about storing propriety or sensitive information?
WP Document Revisions was built from the first line of code with government- and
enterprise-grade security in mind. Each file is masked behind an anonymous 128-bit
[MD5 hash](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) as soon as it touches the server, and
requests for files are transparently routed through WordPress’s time-tested URL 
rewriting, authentication, and permission systems (which can even [integrate with existing enterprise active directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/active-directory-integration/)
or [LDAP servers](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-ldap-login/)). Need
more security? WP Document Revisions allows you to store documents in a folder above
the `htdocs` or `public_html` [web root](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot),
further ensuring that only those you authorize have access to your work.

**Customization** – WP Document Revisions recognizes that no two teams are identical,
and as a result, molds to your firm’s needs, not the other way around. Need to track
additional information associated with a document? Departments, editors, issues,
sections, even arbitrary key-value pairs — whatever you can throw at it, it can 
handle. Development and customization costs are further minimized by its extensive
plugin API, and the [WordPress Custom Taxonomy Generator](http://themergency.com/generators/wordpress-custom-taxonomy/)
makes it easy for even the uninitiated to add custom taxonomies to documents. Need
an audit trail to track check-ins and check-outs? User-level permissions based on
the document’s state or another custom taxonomy? Support for third-party encryption?
Check out the [WP Document Revisions Code Cookbook](https://github.com/wp-document-revisions/wp-document-revisions-Code-Cookbook)
for sample code. Looking for even more advanced control of your workflow? WP Document
Revisions will detect the popular workflow plugin [Edit Flow](http://editflow.org),
if installed, and will automatically pull [Edit Flow’s advanced workflow management tools](http://ben.balter.com/2011/10/24/advanced-workflow-management-tools-for-wp-document-revisions/)
into WP Document Revisions. Simply put, virtually every aspect of the plugin’s functionality
from workflow states to user-level permissions can be fully customized to your team’s
unique needs.

**Future Proof** – Switching costs a concern? WP Document Revisions is built with
tomorrow’s uncertainty in mind. Equally at home in an in-house server room as it
is in the cloud, moving individual files or entire document repositories in and 
out of WP Document Revisions is a breeze (history and all). And since the software
is open-source, you can easily add tools to automate the process of moving to or
integrating with future third-party systems.

#### Features

 * Support for any file type (docs, spreadsheets, images, PDFs — anything!)
 * Securely stores unlimited revisions of your business’s essential files
 * Provides a full file history in the form of a revision log, accessible via RSS

 * Each revision gets its own unique url (e.g.,TPS-Report-revision-3.doc) accessible
   only to those you deem
 * Files are intuitively checked out and locked to prevent revisions from colliding
 * Toggle documents between public, private, and password protected with a single
   mouse click
 * Runs in-house or in the cloud
 * Secure: filenames are hashed on upload and files are only accessible through 
   WordPress’s proven authentication system
 * Can move document upload folder to location outside of web root to further ensure
   government- and enterprise-grade security
 * Documents and Revisions shortcodes, Recently Revised Documents widget

### 󠀁[A useful and flexible tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-useful-and-flexible-tool/)󠁿

Ben Balter has put together a solid plugin that does a good job of maintaining documents
for your WP install. The plugin works well, and functions as described. The plugin
also has filter and action hooks which allow developers to integrate with the plugin
without hacking it. It is also translation ready, something that a plugin must have
for wide adoption. A five star plugin must be not only usable but flexible. WP Document
Revisions meets that qualification. I hope Ben continues his ongoing development.
It’s good to see WP coding standards being implemented. Would be good to see more
inline documentation for hooks, but that doesn’t affect functionality at all so 
it’s more of a want than a need. This is a good plugin with some good features. 
Unfortunately, there are some very old reviews that don’t paint an accurate picture.
Anytime you read a review, look at its age and compare that to the plugin (or theme’s)
current development. In this case, there has been active development in the time
since some of the older reviews were written (and in my opinion, some of those other
reviews are simply not justified).
