What is a Document Owner?

A document owner is the designated individual responsible for ensuring that a document remains accurate, relevant, and compliant over time. This role typically includes updating content, coordinating reviews, initiating approvals, and responding to audits or regulatory changes.

In Web Manuals, each document can be assigned an owner, making accountability clear and enabling efficient document governance. Document owners play a key role in maintaining safety, compliance, and organizational knowledge across aviation operations.
