1.2. Ensure traceability and non-repudiation in document workflows, enabling sites to pinpoint responsible users and action timestamps for every activity on every file.
1.3. Facilitate fast incident response, compliance audits, and proof-generation by aggregating logs automatically in a centralized location.
1.4. Provide export capabilities and real-time anomaly alerts according to business rules or regulator requirements.

2.2. User uploads, creates, edits, annotates, or updates document metadata.
2.3. User deletes, archives, or moves a document to another repository.
