Your document management glossary

Document hierarchy defines the structured organization of content within a document or across multiple documents. In aviation, this typically includes multiple levels such as manuals, sections, chapters, sub-chapters, and procedures — mirroring how information is logically grouped and accessed.

A clear document hierarchy improves readability, traceability, and regulatory compliance, especially during audits or inspections. Web Manuals uses a visual, drag-and-drop editor to manage document hierarchy, allowing users to build structured manuals that align with operational and compliance needs.
