1.3. Establish automatic folder creation, metadata extraction, and cross-system synchronization of document libraries, ensuring searchability and audit trail for professional drafting workflows.
1.4. Reduce manual sorting, prevent file misplacement, and support collaborative work automation between architects, drafters, and engineering staff.

2.1. Automated file upload completion to cloud storage, network drive, or project management system.
2.2. Detection of a new document version or receipt of document as email attachment.
2.3. Scheduled hourly or nightly automator routines for re-indexing documents.
2.4. User-initiated drop into a monitored folder or completion of third-party electronic signatures.
