GovernDocs Document Library

GovernDocs is a document library plugin for WordPress.

For organisations, governments & councils that need document governance and a clearer way to manage & publish important records.

Dedicated content types for policies, meeting documents and reports. These documents are stored in a structured way with dedicated fields for files, dates, versions, status information and other governance-related details. You can then display each document on your website using shortcodes.

GovernDocs is suitable for councils, governments, associations, clubs, schools, law firms, committees, non-profits and other organisations that need a simple way to manage official documents in WordPress.

Upgrade to the PRO version to get full audit logs, custom statuses, extra styling of documents on the frontend, add additional files and add external links to documents. GovernDocs PRO also adds shortcode access controls so you can hide a document from selected roles and show an alternative call to action instead.
