New Version Can't Post
I have been reading about all the possible modifactions to the DocBuilder application. There is talk about a new version with these new features. When is this new version going to come out? I am making an Intranet at work and I need a program to make online manuals and procdue/policy books. Currently I am making static pages, but it is a pain when these are updated. I like the idea that I can setup individual users with the rights to maintain certain documents without going through me.

If you know of a different program to do this, please let me know. But if you make these modifications to your program, I really would like yours.

Hi,

Thanks for your post! :)

We haven't set a release date for the next version of DocBuilder, but we're more than happy to make note of any feature requests you might have. When we do release the next version we'll be sure to let everyone know through our newsletter, website, and right here on the forum. As always, all upgrades to future versions will be free of charge.

It sounds like DocBuilder might already be a good fit for you. With DocBuilder it is possible to create additional users who can log in and create/update documents without having to get permission from the administrator for the changes to be approved.

DocBuilder is perfect for updating web based documentation, manuals, reference guides, etc. It's also a perfect add-on for any intranet, you can use it for maintaining policies, procedures, employee duties, company info, etc. In fact, we've had clients in the past purchase it for this very reason. :)

If you're looking for a program that's similar to DocBuilder but has even better account management features then you may want to check out Article Manager. With Article Manager you can have up to 4 different access levels: Writers, Trusted Writers, Editors or Administrators. Writers have the ability to create an article and then submit it so it can be reviewed. Trusted writers can create articles and have them posted to the site without having to wait for them to be reviewed. Editors can review an article, make any additional changes, and then approve the article to go live. Administrators have full control over the program. They can manage the entire program by creating additional users, creating/editing articles, or approving articles that were submitted by writers.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions! :)
