Documentor

Documentor can now show 'version families' – groups of files that are revisions of one another – discovered from each document's content lineage rather than its filename, and it lets you curate them: separate true duplicates from genuine versions, and correct any grouping that looks wrong.

  • A new Version Families view groups files that are revisions of one another by their content lineage – the revision history Microsoft Word records, or a content fingerprint of the text – not by their filenames, so inconsistently-named copies still line up.
  • Exact duplicates are detected and collapsed, then shown separately from real version sets, so a tangle of similarly-named files reads as one clean lineage with its copies noted.
  • The grouping was refined against a real document library: thresholds tuned, a filename check added so a shared template no longer merges distinct documents, and implausibly large groupings flagged for review.
  • Correction controls let you uncheck a file that does not belong or dismiss a whole false grouping, with the choice remembered on future scans – plus a results export for reviewing the output.
