## Overview
2017-05-02 02:32:49 +02:00
The module adds a new `DMSDocument` model which allows management of large amounts of files, and their relations to
pages. In contrast to the `File` model built into SilverStripe core, it aims to wrap storage and access concerns in
a generic API. This allows more fine-grained control over how the documents are managed and exposed through the website.

Additionally, documents are stored and managed as part of a page instead of away in a separate assets store.
