<h3>Features</h3>
<h4>Overview</h4>
<p><strong>Powerful Collaboration Tools</strong> – <em>With great power does not have to come great complexity.</em> 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 <a href="http://ben.balter.com/2011/04/04/when-all-you-have-is-a-pair-of-bolt-cutters/" rel="nofollow ugc">open-source and more intuitive version</a> of the popular Microsoft collaboration suite, <a href="http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/default.aspx" rel="nofollow ugc">Sharepoint.</a></p>
<p><strong>Document History</strong> – 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.</p>
<p><strong>Access Control</strong> – 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.</p>
<p><strong>Enterprise Security</strong> – 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5" rel="nofollow ugc">MD5 hash</a> 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 <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/active-directory-integration/" rel="ugc">integrate with existing enterprise active directory</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-ldap-login/" rel="ugc">LDAP servers</a>). Need more security? WP Document Revisions allows you to store documents in a folder above the <code>htdocs</code> or <code>public_html</code> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot" rel="nofollow ugc">web root</a>, further ensuring that only those you authorize have access to your work.</p>
<p><strong>Customization</strong> – 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 <a href="http://themergency.com/generators/wordpress-custom-taxonomy/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Custom Taxonomy Generator</a> 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 <a href="https://github.com/wp-document-revisions/wp-document-revisions-Code-Cookbook" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Document Revisions Code Cookbook</a> for sample code. Looking for even more advanced control of your workflow? WP Document Revisions will detect the popular workflow plugin <a href="http://editflow.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Edit Flow</a>, if installed, and will automatically pull <a href="http://ben.balter.com/2011/10/24/advanced-workflow-management-tools-for-wp-document-revisions/" rel="nofollow ugc">Edit Flow’s advanced workflow management tools</a> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Future Proof</strong> – 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.</p>

WP Document Revisions

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).

A useful and flexible tool

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