|
25 | 45 | ## What It Doesn't Do
|
26 | 46 |
|
27 | 47 | * It does **not** take control of your documents. Documents are **stored on
|
28 | 48 | filesystem** in a simple and intuitive manner so that you can take snapshot of
|
29 | 49 | your data at any time
|
30 |
| -* It does **not** stay in your way when you make decisions about your data |
31 | 50 | * It does **not** overwrite your original documents
|

|
34 | 53 | ## Right Tool for You?
|
35 | 54 |
|
36 |
| - |
37 | 55 | To be efficient you always need to choose right tool for the problem. Because
|
38 | 56 | Document Management is too generic - I think that a definition of what is a
|
39 | 57 | Document in context of this software is needed.
