Documents are the individual files that exist within the Library. Pepper Flow assists in the review and approval of these documents by putting them through a job. Each document is a file (ex. PDF, .PNG, .DOC, .MOV) and is assigned its own unique document ID number in Pepper Flow.

Document ID
The document ID is a unique ID assigned to every document for auditing and tracking purposes. Pepper Flow generates an ID when you start a job. The ID format is configured based on your organization’s requirements.
Document IDs can be found in several areas, including the Viewer and document card.
Document status
A document status lets you know if a document is ready to use. Document statuses appear in several places, including the document card, Viewer, History, and Audit Trail.
| Document status Note: Document status labels may vary depending on your company’s configuration. |
Status definition |
| Draft | Document has not been approved |
| Draft (locked for review) | Document is currently in a job for review |

| Approved | Document is approved and ready to use |
| Expired | Document should no longer be used |
| Superseded | Document is no longer approved because a more recent document version has been approved |
