## Documents

Documents are revision-controlled objects that contain data for design, marketing, or other purposes. Examples are drawings, specifications, and financial reports. Documents refer to the hard copies and files that contain the actual data that they represent.

Files are the data objects external to SSA ECM, such as Microsoft Word documents, Excel workbooks, CAD drawings, text files, PDF files, and so on.

SSA PDM files are objects linked directly to documents.
