Looking for even more advanced control of your workflow? [WP Document Revisions](https://ben.balter.com/2011/08/29/wp-document-revisions-document-management-version-control-wordpress/ "WP Document Revisions — Document Management & Version Control for WordPress") gained a huge feature today with the addition of integrated support for the popular workflow plugin [Edit Flow](https://editflow.org). Beginning with [version 1.1](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-document-revisions/), WP Document Revisions will detect Edit Flow, if installed, and will automatically pull [Edit Flow's advanced workflow management tools](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/edit-flow/screenshots/) into the proven WP Document Revisions experience you already know and use. Specifically:

- **Email Notifications and User Groups** allow you to keep track of activity via email and manage alerts based on existing teams. Subscribe individual users or entire groups to receive a document's updates.
- **Custom Document Metadata** allows organizations to store additional information alongside your documents in a sleek, intuitive manner. Supports a virtually unlimited number of checkboxes, dates, locations, text, users, and numeric fields.
- **Collaborative Team Chat** allows users to comment on and discuss individual documents, pulling the conversation out of your inbox and back into your workflow.
- **Evolved Workflow State Integration** allows for more granular control of Workflow states ("Document Status" in EditFlow parlance), including setting a document's initial status and better integration with the native WordPress experience.
- **Advanced Snapshots** of your team's progress via filterable calendar and budget views. See all documents in a particular step in your workflow, in a particular category, in a particular week, or by a particular user.

Ideal for teams of any size looking to fine tune their WP Document Revisions experience without the hassle of [coding a custom implementation](https://github.com/wp-document-revisions/WP-Document-Revisions-Code-Cookbook), the addition of Edit Flow support offers a unique suite of powerful and intuitive workflow management tools right out of the box.
