document-inventory

Document inventory and metadata extraction works by scanning specified directories for files like .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, and .pdf. It pulls essential properties such as title, author, and language, and detects template usage to organize the catalog.

To detect document changes against a Git reference, the tool performs delta detection by comparing the current file system state against Git history or previous audit reports. This identifies new, modified, or deleted documents in the workspace.

Yes, recursive and non-recursive scanning are both supported. The tool intelligently filters temporary and system files during discovery, ensuring only valid Office formats and PDFs are included in the final document inventory.

Metadata extraction pulls essential document properties like title, author, and language from Office formats and PDFs. It also detects template usage and groups documents by template during the inventory process.

Finding recently updated documents before a major release involves using delta change detection against Git history or timestamps. This identifies modified policy documents and updated reports, ensuring all user-facing documentation is properly tagged and ready.
