Documents

Every SOP, controlled and current.

Manage SOPs, policies, and quality records with version history, electronic approvals, and immutable evidence — so the effective document is always the one your team is using.

Controlled document with version history and electronic approvals

The lifecycle

A controlled path from draft to effective

Documents don't drift. Every version follows the same governed states, with the transitions captured automatically.

01

Draft

Authored from a template or blank.

02

Under Review

Routed through approvals.

03

Effective

Live — prior versions archived.

04

Archived

Retained, traceable, read-only.

Version control

One source of truth, never in doubt.

Every revision moves through a controlled lifecycle — Draft, Under Review, Effective, Archived. The effective version is always unambiguous, and superseded revisions stay traceable instead of disappearing.

  • Full version history & change control
  • Effective vs. superseded — always clear
  • Schedule a future effective date
Document version lifecycle from draft to effective
Electronic approvals

Signatures that stand up to an audit.

Submit a version for approval and route it through your exact review workflow. Signers verify their identity at the moment of signing, capturing who, what, when, and why — aligned with 21 CFR Part 11.

  • Role-based approval routing
  • Identity verification at signing
  • Reason & meaning captured on every signature

Immutable snapshots

Prove exactly what was effective, on any date.

The moment a version becomes effective, Qability renders a complete PDF — cover, sections, signatures, and audit history — and hashes it. A regulator can ask for the document that was in force on a given day, and you can prove it byte-for-byte.

  • Auto-generated on effective date
  • SHA-256 hash-verifiable
  • Attachments merged inline
