Step-by-step guide
6 steps

Describe the app to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a document review tracker with documents (title, type, owner, version, current reviewer, status, due date), a review log per document (reviewer, date, comments, approved/rejected), and a dashboard showing overdue reviews and pending approvals."
- 3
Enter your document inventory
Add all documents currently in review with their current stage and reviewer. This gives you immediate visibility into your review backlog.
- 4
Route documents to reviewers
When a document moves to a new stage, update the current reviewer and due date. The reviewer receives a notification and can log their comments directly in the app.
- 5
Track version history
When a document is revised after feedback, increment the version number and add a note about the changes. The full revision history is preserved.
- 6
Monitor the overdue dashboard
Review overdue documents daily. For critical contracts, escalate directly to reviewers who are behind schedule.
