Abstract
A document workflow management system monitors progress of a document as it moves between various personnel to whom workflow actions have been assigned. It may send the document to the alternate person and then return the document to the original workflow when the alternate person has completed the action. If the document includes content that is subject to an access restriction, it will automatically redact that content before sending it to the alternate person, and it may return the content to the document when the document returns to the original workflow.
