From signup to your first approved document in under 10 minutes. Here's how.
Head to app.arvodocs.com/signup and create your account. No credit card required — the Starter plan is free. You'll set up your organization name, invite your first users, and land on your dashboard in under a minute.
Your workspace is your organization's home in ArvoDocs. From Settings → Organization, configure your company name, logo, and default document numbering schema. If you're on the Scaling or Enterprise plan, this is also where you'll activate compliance packs.
Navigate to Documents → New Document. Pick a template from a compliance pack or start from scratch. Give it a title, assign a document number (or let ArvoDocs auto-generate one), and start writing. The rich text editor supports headings, tables, images, and inline comments.
Before releasing a document, configure its approval workflow. Go to the document's Workflow tab and add reviewers and approvers. You can set up sequential approvals (one after another) or parallel approvals (everyone at once). Approvers receive email notifications automatically.
When your document is ready, click Submit for Review. Each reviewer and approver will be notified. They can approve, reject, or request changes — all tracked in the audit trail. Once all approvals are complete, the document moves to "Effective" status.
That's it. Your document is version-controlled, approved, and fully traceable. The audit trail captures every action — who created it, who reviewed it, who approved it, and when. You can export the full history as a PDF anytime.
