# Document Management

ProcessMaker IDP provides the following document management features:

* **Web Access**: On-cloud and on-premise access enables users to access documents from any location via the document management portal.
* **Drag and Drop Functionality**: Simplifies uploading and organizing documents by drag-and-drop operation. See [Files and Folders](/idp/idp-user/document-management/files-and-folders.md).
* **Embedded Viewer**: Lets users view documents (PDFs and images) within the portal without needing external applications. See [View Document Details](/idp/idp-user/document-management/preview-a-document.md).
* **Revisions**: Tracks and manages different versions of documents, ensuring that changes are documented. See [Document Revisions](/idp/idp-user/document-management/version-control.md).
* **File Locking**: Prevents conflicts by locking documents when a file is checked-out for editing the metadata. See [Check-out a file](#check-in-and-check-out-a-document). 
* **File and Folder Access**: Access control and permissions for documents and folders. See [Access Control](/idp/idp-user/document-management/access-control.md).
* **Search**: Allows quick and efficient document search using keywords or filters. See [Elastic Search](/idp/idp-user/document-management/elastic-search.md) for more details.
