In daily work, various text information is generated.

That is in other words, you can easily build a mechanism in which a file in a specified format is automatically generated at the same time text information is approved. For example, by arranging an automatic process such as automatic upload to cloud storage at further downstream, a series of document management processes can be unmanned so that the risk of unintentional text deletion or content tampering can be eliminated.
