# Welcome

swiDOC keeps and manages your business records paperless.

swiDOC is an officially certified digitization solution for GeBüV-compliant archiving. The way it handles and controls business information meets the legal requirements, so a digital archive fully replaces the physical one.

Getting Started takes you from registration to your first archived document.


# What happens to a document

Everything else in swiDOC follows from this one sequence. A document you upload is protected for a retention period, and only once that period has run out does anyone get a choice about it.

You upload it

You pick the folder, the archiving start date and how long it has to be kept.

It is archived

Protected, searchable, and carrying a proof of authenticity. Nobody can delete it, administrators included.

The period ends

It moves to the Recycle Bin. Nothing is removed automatically; it waits for someone to act.

Then an administrator chooses:

Extend the retention

It goes back into the archive, protected again until the new date.

Delete it permanently

Gone, with no undo. With the four-eye principle on, this needs a second administrator's approval.

Retention is set at upload; the choice at the end is made in the Recycle Bin.


# Archive

The day-to-day half of the app: everything you do with documents themselves.

# Administration

The half you use to run the archive. Most of it is administrators only.
