+# Document Management System Configuration
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Create a `.env` file in the backend root directory with the following configurations:
+
+```env
+# Database Configuration
+DB_HOST=localhost
+DB_PORT=5432
+DB_USERNAME=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=password
+DB_DATABASE=manage_assets
+DB_SYNCHRONIZE=true
+NODE_ENV=development
+
+# Document Storage
+UPLOAD_DIR=./uploads/documents
+MAX_FILE_SIZE=524288000
+
+# JWT Configuration
+JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_key
+JWT_EXPIRATION=24h
+
+# Server Configuration
+PORT=3000
+API_PREFIX=api
+
+# CORS Configuration
+CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:3001
+
+# File Upload Configuration
+ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES=application/pdf,image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif,text/plain,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
+
+# Audit Configuration
+ENABLE_AUDIT_LOGGING=true
+AUDIT_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS=365
+
+# Storage Configuration
+ENABLE_FILE_COMPRESSION=false
+ENABLE_FILE_ENCRYPTION=false
+ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_encryption_key
+
+# Feature Flags
+ENABLE_DOCUMENT_PREVIEW=false
+ENABLE_OCR=false
+ENABLE_CLOUD_STORAGE=false
+```
+
+## Database Setup
+
+### 1. Create Tables
+
+The tables are automatically created by TypeORM synchronization when `DB_SYNCHRONIZE=true`.
+
+Tables created:
+- `documents`
+- `document_versions`
+- `document_access_permissions`
+- `document_audit_logs`
+
+### 2. Create Indexes
+
+Indexes are automatically created during table synchronization.
+
+### 3. Initial Data
+
+No initial data is required. The system is ready to use once tables are created.
+
+## Application Setup
+
+### 1. Installation
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+npm install
+```
+
+### 2. Database Migration
+
+```bash
+# For development with synchronize: true
+npm run start:dev
+
+# For production with migrations
+npm run migration:run
+```
+
+### 3. Start Server
+
+```bash
+# Development with watch mode
+npm run start:dev
+
+# Production build and run
+npm run build
+npm run start:prod
+```
+
+## Module Integration
+
+The DocumentsModule is already integrated into the AppModule. No additional setup is needed.
+
+To verify integration:
+
+1. Check [app.module.ts](app.module.ts) imports the DocumentsModule
+2. Verify all entities are included in TypeOrmModule.forRoot()
+3. Confirm DocumentsModule is exported from documents module
+
+## API Documentation
+
+Once the server is running, access the Swagger documentation at:
+
+```
+http://localhost:3000/api/docs
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing with cURL
+
+```bash
+# 1. Upload a document
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/documents/upload \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -F "file=@test-file.pdf" \
+  -F "assetId=550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \
+  -F "documentType=invoice" \
+  -F "name=Test Invoice"
+
+# 2. List documents
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/documents?limit=10" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+
+# 3. Get document details
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/documents/DOC_ID \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+
+# 4. Download document
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/documents/DOC_ID/download \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -o downloaded-file.pdf
+
+# 5. Grant access
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/documents/DOC_ID/permissions/grant \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "userId": "user-uuid",
+    "permissions": ["view", "download"],
+    "expiresAt": "2025-12-31"
+  }'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Upload Directory Not Found
+
+**Solution:** Ensure the `UPLOAD_DIR` exists or is accessible:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ./uploads/documents
+chmod 755 ./uploads/documents
+```
+
+### Issue: File Size Limit Exceeded
+
+**Solution:** Increase `MAX_FILE_SIZE` in environment variables:
+
+```env
+MAX_FILE_SIZE=1073741824  # 1GB
+```
+
+### Issue: Permission Denied on File Operations
+
+**Solution:** Ensure proper file permissions:
+
+```bash
+chmod -R 755 ./uploads
+```
+
+### Issue: Database Connection Failed
+
+**Solution:** Verify database configuration:
+
+```bash
+# Test connection
+psql -h localhost -U postgres -d manage_assets
+```
+
+### Issue: JWT Token Errors
+
+**Solution:** Ensure JWT_SECRET is configured and token is valid:
+
+```env
+JWT_SECRET=your_secure_secret_key
+JWT_EXPIRATION=24h
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### 1. File Storage
+
+- Use SSD for upload directory
+- Implement file cleanup policies
+- Consider cloud storage integration (S3, Azure Blob)
+
+### 2. Database
+
+- Add indexes for frequently searched columns
+- Implement partitioning for audit logs
+- Regular maintenance and vacuuming
+
+### 3. API
+
+- Implement caching for frequently accessed documents
+- Use pagination for list operations
+- Compress responses
+
+### 4. Monitoring
+
+- Monitor disk usage
+- Track API response times
+- Log error rates
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### 1. File Upload
+
+```typescript
+// Implement in upload validation
+- Validate file type via magic bytes, not just extension
+- Scan uploaded files for malware
+- Implement rate limiting
+```
+
+### 2. Access Control
+
+```typescript
+// Already implemented features:
+- Permission-based access control
+- User identity verification
+- Audit logging of all access
+- Permission expiration
+```
+
+### 3. Data Protection
+
+```typescript
+// Recommended additions:
+- Encrypt sensitive files at rest
+- Use HTTPS for all communications
+- Implement TLS/SSL
+- Use secure headers
+```
+
+## Backup and Recovery
+
+### 1. File Backup
+
+```bash
+# Daily backup script
+#!/bin/bash
+DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
+tar -czf /backups/documents_$DATE.tar.gz ./uploads/documents
+```
+
+### 2. Database Backup
+
+```bash
+# PostgreSQL backup
+pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres manage_assets | gzip > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz
+```
+
+### 3. Recovery Procedure
+
+```bash
+# Restore files
+tar -xzf /backups/documents_$DATE.tar.gz -C ./
+
+# Restore database
+gunzip < backup_$DATE.sql.gz | psql -h localhost -U postgres manage_assets
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+### 1. Application Logs
+
+Logs are output to console in development and file in production.
+
+### 2. Audit Logs
+
+Query audit logs via API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/documents/DOC_ID/audit-logs" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+### 3. Error Monitoring
+
+Configure error tracking service (Sentry, DataDog):
+
+```typescript
+import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";
+
+// In main.ts
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
+});
+```
+
+## Migration from Other Systems
+
+### 1. Prepare Data
+
+```sql
+-- Create temporary table
+CREATE TABLE temp_documents (
+  asset_id UUID,
+  file_path VARCHAR,
+  document_type VARCHAR,
+  name VARCHAR,
+  description TEXT
+);
+
+-- Import from CSV
+COPY temp_documents FROM 'documents.csv' WITH (FORMAT csv);
+```
+
+### 2. Transform and Load
+
+```typescript
+// Use DocumentService to import
+// Handle file migration to new storage system
+```
+
+### 3. Verification
+
+```bash
+# Verify document count
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/documents?limit=1000" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  | jq '.total'
+```

+# Document Management System - Integration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to integrate the Document Management System with the Asset Management System.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Document Management System is designed to work seamlessly with the Asset Management System. Documents are associated with specific assets and inherit certain properties from them for consistency.
+
+## Key Integration Points
+
+### 1. Asset-Document Relationship
+
+Each document is linked to an asset via the `assetId` field. This enables:
+
+- **Lifecycle Tracking**: Documents follow the asset lifecycle
+- **Permission Inheritance**: Document access is based on asset ownership
+- **Audit Trail**: Asset changes are tracked alongside document changes
+- **Organization**: Documents are grouped by asset for easy retrieval
+
+### 2. Accessing Asset Documents
+
+#### Via Document Service
+
+```typescript
+// Get all documents for an asset
+const documents = await documentService.getDocumentsByAsset(assetId, userId);
+```
+
+#### Via API
+
+```bash
+GET /documents/asset/:assetId/documents
+```
+
+### 3. Upload Document for Asset
+
+```typescript
+// In your asset module
+import { DocumentService } from '../documents/services/document.service';
+
+@Injectable()
+export class AssetDocumentService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+    private readonly assetService: AssetService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async uploadAssetDocument(
+    assetId: string,
+    file: Express.Multer.File,
+    createDocumentDto: CreateDocumentDto,
+    userId: string,
+  ) {
+    // Verify asset exists
+    const asset = await this.assetService.findById(assetId);
+    if (!asset) {
+      throw new NotFoundException('Asset not found');
+    }
+
+    // Upload document with asset association
+    const document = await this.documentService.uploadDocument(
+      {
+        ...createDocumentDto,
+        assetId,
+      },
+      file,
+      userId,
+    );
+
+    return document;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Auto-Generate Document Types Based on Asset Category
+
+```typescript
+const DOCUMENT_TYPE_BY_CATEGORY = {
+  'Electronics': ['manual', 'warranty', 'certificate'],
+  'Furniture': ['receipt', 'warranty'],
+  'Software': ['license', 'certificate'],
+  'Vehicles': ['maintenance', 'receipt', 'certificate'],
+};
+
+// When uploading, suggest document types based on asset category
+export function getSuggestedDocumentTypes(assetCategory: string): DocumentType[] {
+  return DOCUMENT_TYPE_BY_CATEGORY[assetCategory] || ['other'];
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Asset Transfer with Documents
+
+When an asset is transferred, consider updating document permissions:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class AssetTransferService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+    private readonly assetTransferService: AssetTransferService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async transferAssetWithDocuments(
+    assetId: string,
+    newOwnerId: string,
+    currentUserId: string,
+  ) {
+    // Transfer asset
+    const transfer = await this.assetTransferService.transferAsset(
+      assetId,
+      newOwnerId,
+      currentUserId,
+    );
+
+    // Update document permissions for asset
+    const documents = await this.documentService.getDocumentsByAsset(assetId, currentUserId);
+
+    for (const doc of documents) {
+      // Grant view and download permission to new owner
+      await this.documentService.grantAccess(
+        doc.id,
+        {
+          userId: newOwnerId,
+          permissions: ['view', 'download'],
+        },
+        currentUserId,
+      );
+    }
+
+    return transfer;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Asset Disposal with Document Archiving
+
+When an asset is disposed, archive its documents:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class AssetDisposalService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+    private readonly assetService: AssetService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async disposeAsset(assetId: string, userId: string) {
+    // Dispose asset
+    const disposal = await this.assetService.disposeAsset(assetId, userId);
+
+    // Archive all associated documents
+    const documents = await this.documentService.getDocumentsByAsset(assetId, userId);
+
+    const bulkAction = {
+      documentIds: documents.map((d) => d.id),
+      action: 'archive' as const,
+    };
+
+    await this.documentService.bulkAction(bulkAction, userId);
+
+    return disposal;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Complete Asset with Documents
+
+Create an asset along with its documentation:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class CompleteAssetService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly assetService: AssetService,
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async createAssetWithDocuments(
+    assetData: CreateAssetDto,
+    files: Express.Multer.File[],
+    userId: string,
+  ) {
+    // Create asset
+    const asset = await this.assetService.create(assetData, userId);
+
+    // Upload documents
+    const documents = await Promise.all(
+      files.map((file) =>
+        this.documentService.uploadDocument(
+          {
+            assetId: asset.id,
+            documentType: this.inferDocumentType(file.originalname),
+            name: file.originalname,
+            accessLevel: 'organization',
+          },
+          file,
+          userId,
+        ),
+      ),
+    );
+
+    return {
+      asset,
+      documents,
+    };
+  }
+
+  private inferDocumentType(fileName: string): DocumentType {
+    const ext = fileName.toLowerCase().split('.').pop();
+    const typeMap = {
+      'pdf': 'manual',
+      'jpg': 'photo',
+      'png': 'photo',
+      'docx': 'certificate',
+    };
+    return (typeMap[ext] || 'other') as DocumentType;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Bulk Document Import
+
+Import documents for multiple assets:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class BulkDocumentImportService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+    private readonly assetService: AssetService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async importDocumentsFromCSV(csvData: string, userId: string) {
+    const records = this.parseCSV(csvData);
+    const results = [];
+
+    for (const record of records) {
+      try {
+        // Verify asset exists
+        const asset = await this.assetService.findBySerialNumber(record.assetSerial);
+        if (!asset) {
+          results.push({
+            assetSerial: record.assetSerial,
+            status: 'failed',
+            reason: 'Asset not found',
+          });
+          continue;
+        }
+
+        // Create document record
+        const document = await this.documentService.uploadDocument(
+          {
+            assetId: asset.id,
+            documentType: record.documentType as DocumentType,
+            name: record.documentName,
+            description: record.description,
+            accessLevel: record.accessLevel as AccessLevel,
+            tags: record.tags,
+          },
+          record.file,
+          userId,
+        );
+
+        results.push({
+          assetSerial: record.assetSerial,
+          status: 'success',
+          documentId: document.id,
+        });
+      } catch (error) {
+        results.push({
+          assetSerial: record.assetSerial,
+          status: 'failed',
+          reason: error.message,
+        });
+      }
+    }
+
+    return results;
+  }
+
+  private parseCSV(csvData: string) {
+    // Implementation of CSV parsing
+    return [];
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Document Expiration Alerts
+
+Alert users about expiring documents:
+
+```typescript
+@Cron('0 0 * * *') // Daily at midnight
+async checkExpiringDocuments() {
+  const thirtyDaysFromNow = new Date();
+  thirtyDaysFromNow.setDate(thirtyDaysFromNow.getDate() + 30);
+
+  const expiringDocs = await this.documentRepository.find({
+    where: {
+      expirationDate: LessThanOrEqual(thirtyDaysFromNow),
+      isActive: true,
+    },
+  });
+
+  for (const doc of expiringDocs) {
+    // Send notification to asset owner
+    await this.notificationService.sendExpirationAlert(doc);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Document Compliance Reports
+
+Generate compliance reports with documents:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class ComplianceReportService {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly documentService: DocumentService,
+    private readonly assetService: AssetService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async generateAssetComplianceReport(assetId: string, userId: string) {
+    const asset = await this.assetService.findById(assetId);
+    const documents = await this.documentService.getDocumentsByAsset(assetId, userId);
+
+    const requiredDocuments = {
+      invoice: documents.some((d) => d.documentType === 'invoice'),
+      warranty: documents.some((d) => d.documentType === 'warranty'),
+      certificate: documents.some((d) => d.documentType === 'certificate'),
+    };
+
+    const compliance = {
+      assetId,
+      assetName: asset.name,
+      compliant: Object.values(requiredDocuments).every((v) => v),
+      requiredDocuments,
+      availableDocuments: documents.length,
+      lastDocumentUpdate: documents[0]?.updatedAt,
+    };
+
+    return compliance;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Database Relationships
+
+```sql
+-- Asset and Document Relationship
+SELECT 
+  a.id as asset_id,
+  a.name as asset_name,
+  d.id as document_id,
+  d.name as document_name,
+  d.documentType,
+  COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY a.id) as total_documents
+FROM documents d
+INNER JOIN assets a ON d.assetId = a.id
+WHERE a.isActive = true
+ORDER BY a.id, d.createdAt DESC;
+
+-- Document Statistics by Asset
+SELECT
+  a.id,
+  a.name,
+  COUNT(d.id) as document_count,
+  SUM(d.fileSize) as total_size,
+  MAX(d.updatedAt) as last_updated
+FROM assets a
+LEFT JOIN documents d ON a.id = d.assetId
+WHERE a.isActive = true
+GROUP BY a.id, a.name
+ORDER BY document_count DESC;
+```
+
+## API Integration Examples
+
+### Fetch Asset with Documents
+
+```typescript
+// Frontend example
+async function fetchAssetWithDocuments(assetId: string) {
+  const [asset, documents] = await Promise.all([
+    fetch(`/api/assets/${assetId}`).then((r) => r.json()),
+    fetch(`/api/documents/asset/${assetId}/documents`).then((r) => r.json()),
+  ]);
+
+  return {
+    ...asset,
+    documents,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Upload Multiple Documents for Asset
+
+```typescript
+async function uploadAssetDocuments(
+  assetId: string,
+  files: File[],
+  token: string,
+) {
+  const results = await Promise.all(
+    files.map((file) => {
+      const formData = new FormData();
+      formData.append('file', file);
+      formData.append('assetId', assetId);
+      formData.append('documentType', inferType(file.name));
+      formData.append('name', file.name);
+
+      return fetch('/api/documents/upload', {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: {
+          Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
+        },
+        body: formData,
+      }).then((r) => r.json());
+    }),
+  );
+
+  return results;
+}
+
+function inferType(fileName: string) {
+  const ext = fileName.split('.').pop()?.toLowerCase();
+  const typeMap = {
+    pdf: 'manual',
+    jpg: 'photo',
+    png: 'photo',
+  };
+  return typeMap[ext] || 'other';
+}
+```
+
+## Permissions and Security
+
+### Document Permissions Based on Asset Access
+
+```typescript
+// When granting asset access, also consider documents
+async function grantAssetAccess(
+  assetId: string,
+  userId: string,
+  permissions: string[],
+) {
+  // Grant asset access
+  await assetService.grantAccess(assetId, userId, permissions);
+
+  // Grant document access if asset access is granted
+  if (permissions.includes('view')) {
+    const documents = await documentService.getDocumentsByAsset(assetId);
+
+    for (const doc of documents) {
+      await documentService.grantAccess(
+        doc.id,
+        {
+          userId,
+          permissions: ['view', 'download'],
+        },
+        currentUserId,
+      );
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Validate Asset Existence**: Always verify the asset exists before uploading documents
+2. **Consistent Permissions**: Keep document permissions aligned with asset ownership
+3. **Regular Cleanup**: Archive documents for disposed assets
+4. **Metadata Utilization**: Use metadata to store asset-specific document information
+5. **Audit Tracking**: Monitor document access for sensitive documents
+6. **Version Management**: Keep previous versions for audit and compliance
+7. **Storage Management**: Implement policies to clean up old versions
+8. **Performance**: Use pagination for large document lists
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Documents Not Appearing
+
+```typescript
+// Check if asset exists
+const asset = await assetService.findById(assetId);
+
+// Check document permissions
+const userPermissions = await documentService.checkPermission(
+  documentId,
+  userId,
+  'view',
+);
+
+// Check if document is archived
+const document = await documentService.getDocument(documentId, userId);
+console.log('Is archived:', document.isArchived);
+```
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+```typescript
+// Debug permission chain
+const doc = await documentService.getDocument(docId, userId);
+const perms = await documentService.getDocumentPermissions(docId, userId);
+console.log('Doc owner:', doc.createdBy);
+console.log('Current user:', userId);
+console.log('Explicit perms:', perms);
+```

+## Usage Examples
+
+### Upload a Document
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/documents/upload \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -F "file=@invoice.pdf" \
+  -F "assetId=asset-uuid" \
+  -F "documentType=invoice" \
+  -F "name=Invoice for Asset" \
+  -F "accessLevel=organization"
+```
+
+### Search Documents
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/documents?query=invoice&documentType=invoice&limit=20" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+### Grant Access to User
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/documents/doc-uuid/permissions/grant \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "userId": "user-uuid",
+    "permissions": ["view", "download"],
+    "expiresAt": "2025-12-31"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Download Document
+```bash
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/documents/doc-uuid/download \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -o downloaded-file.pdf
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```env
+# Upload directory
+UPLOAD_DIR=./uploads/documents
+
+# File size limit (in bytes, default: 500MB)
+MAX_FILE_SIZE=524288000
+
+# Database configuration
+DB_HOST=localhost
+DB_PORT=5432
+DB_USERNAME=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=password
+DB_DATABASE=manage_assets
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **File Upload Validation**
+   - Validate file types and sizes
+   - Scan uploaded files for malware
+   - Store files outside web root
+   - Use unique file names
+
+2. **Access Control**
+   - Check permissions before file access
+   - Validate user identity via JWT
+   - Implement rate limiting
+   - Log all access attempts
+
+3. **Data Protection**
+   - Use HTTPS for all communications
+   - Encrypt sensitive metadata
+   - Implement audit logging
+   - Regular backups
+
+4. **Integrity Verification**
+   - Checksum validation on download
+   - Version control for accountability
+   - Immutable audit logs
+
+## Integration with Assets
+
+The document management system integrates seamlessly with the asset management system:
+
+1. Documents are linked to specific assets
+2. Asset deletion cascades to related documents
+3. Asset transfer triggers document permission updates
+4. Audit logs track asset-document relationships
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### Tables

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Regular Backups**: Implement automated backups for document storage
+2. **Access Review**: Periodically review and audit access permissions
+3. **Document Organization**: Use tags and metadata for better organization
+4. **Version Retention**: Keep limited versions to manage storage
+5. **Expiration Dates**: Set expiration dates for time-sensitive documents
+6. **Audit Monitoring**: Regularly review audit logs for suspicious activity
+7. **File Cleanup**: Implement cleanup policies for archived documents
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. Document preview/thumbnail generation
+2. Full-text search with Elasticsearch
+3. Document compression and deduplication
+4. Workflow approvals for sensitive documents
+5. E-signature integration
+6. Document sharing with external users
+7. Mobile app support
+8. Document version comparison
+9. OCR and text extraction
+10. Integration with cloud storage services
