SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT FOR SHARING DOCUMENTS ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT CATEGORY

摘要

Described herein are embodiments of systems and methods for document management for sharing documents according to document categories, wherein an author can generate a document for sharing, specify a document category for the document, and share the document or the category. Upon accessing a shared document by a recipient, the recipient may be prompted to access the most relevant document of the document category. The recipient may thus receive a link to a shared document and, upon invoking the link, instead of being directed to the shared document, may be directed to a subsequently authored, or otherwise more relevant document from the document category. The determination of relevancy may relate to the age of a document.
