UPLOADED DOCUMENT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find the key ideas in a document, with the source still in view.

For a document that a person is authorized to use, prepare a short title, summary, key points, and subject tags. Keep the original file attached to the result so a reader can check important names, figures, and qualifications, then approve any storage, distribution, or decision based on the summary.

A concise summary with key points and tags paired with its source document and review status.

Keep in mind

A summary can omit important qualifications, misstate a figure, or expose sensitive content to an unintended audience. Confirm permission and audience, restrict access to the source and summary, compare important claims with the original, and require an authorized person to approve any external sharing or consequential use.
