What This Plugin Adds
Section titled “What This Plugin Adds”Document Lifecycle is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Operations product group. It ships as capell-app/document-lifecycle and extends these surfaces: admin, console.
Document Lifecycle tracks controlled documents as admin-managed records with version-labelled, content-hashed publications and acceptance history. Admin users can publish manual versions, matching Publishing Studio revisions can create publication records automatically, and acceptance records show which actor accepted which document version and when. The package also registers protected audit tables, a health diagnostic, and an authenticated Customer Portal feed for account self-service history.
After install, admins get package-owned management or reporting surfaces inside Capell.

Why It Matters
Section titled “Why It Matters”For developers: The package gives developers package-owned service providers, Actions, Data objects, models, and Filament classes instead of pushing this behaviour into core or application code.
For teams: Version-pinned acceptance evidence for controlled documents in Capell: register documents, publish hashed versions from admin or Publishing Studio, and record who accepted which version and when.
Screens And Workflow
Section titled “Screens And Workflow”Screenshot contract: docs/screenshots.json.
- Controlled documents index (admin, required).
- Controlled document edit form (admin, required).
- Document publications relation manager (admin, required).
- Document acceptances relation manager (admin, required).
