Document Review Expert

Expert guidance for working with the Document Review system in Frappe Tweaks, a flexible document review/approval framework.

Overview

The Document Review system provides a rule-based approach to document validation and approval workflows:

• Document Review Rules define validation checks via Python scripts
• Document Reviews track approval state as submittable records
• Rules are evaluated automatically on document changes
• Automatic banner displays pending reviews at the top of forms
• Mandatory reviews block document submission (with auto-approval before submit)
• Reviews integrate with workflows and timeline
• Permission-aware - users only see reviews for documents they can access

This system enables dynamic approval requirements based on document content, bypassing the need for complex workflow configurations.
