Engineering documents
Organize narrative content, sections, and data blocks in an engineering document.
Engineering Documents & ALM
KDP Library
Read engineering documents, work with structured data, track findings, and connect the work to tests and delivery evidence.
Documents and engineering data in one workspace
Navigate the project, read engineering documents, and inspect requirements and their sources within the complete workspace.

A Library document can combine narrative content with structured data blocks. Expand a row while reading to see its details, or switch to a worksheet for focused data work. Projects also organize requirements, work items, tests, and links, so document content can be checked against engineering progress.
Documents and worksheets
Move between narrative content, tables, and row details within a document workspace.
Structured records
Record Types define fields and workflows for requirements, findings, and other engineering items.
Traceability and evidence
Link requirements, implementation, tests, and evidence to inspect sources and coverage.
Versions and reviews
Keep document versions, review records, and baselines that identify the content behind a delivery.
Built around everyday engineering work
Start with reading, editing, and tracking, then connect the work to verification and review.
Worksheets and row details
Work with structured fields in a table or expand a row to inspect evidence, explanations, and related items.
Requirements and work items
Manage typed records and their state, linking tasks back to the requirement or issue that prompted them.
Engineering journey and tests
Organize tasks by project stage and link test cases, execution results, and supporting evidence.
Traceability and coverage
Follow upstream and downstream relationships and use coverage views to inspect missing links.
Reviews and baselines
Review specific content and versions; preserve delivery snapshots in baselines.
A document connected to the work behind it
Keep content and relationships from project setup through verification and review.

Where it fits
Scope adoption around your engineering data and team processes.
Specifications and requirements
Manage requirements in their document context and follow design and verification links.
Reviews and findings
Organize checklists, findings, responses, and evidence for follow-up.
Verification and delivery
Connect work items, test results, reviews, and baselines.
Organize engineering work and its evidence
Library provides data and workflow management. Standards conformity still depends on your processes, engineering activities, and review outcomes.
Requirements, findings, and change management

FAQ
Are documents and worksheets separate copies of the data?
Documents can contain structured data blocks whose reading and worksheet views use the same source. The block configuration determines its data scope.
Can it support safety or cybersecurity projects?
It can manage related requirements, documents, findings, tests, and evidence. It does not independently establish standards conformity or grant formal approval.
Do we need to adopt every feature at once?
Start with a document, checklist, or project, then add work items, tests, traceability, and reviews as needed.
Keep documents, work, and evidence connected
Start with a specification, checklist, or engineering project and build a body of data that can be searched and reviewed.
