When working on a long essay, dissertation, or research project, I find that organizing the actual documents can sometimes take almost as much time as writing them. Keeping track of different drafts, references, forms, and supporting files gets especially difficult when a project has many revisions.

I recently came across AutoDocs while looking into document automation and started wondering whether tools like this can actually make document-heavy work easier. Has anyone here used document automation or workflow software alongside academic or professional writing? I'm particularly interested in whether it saves meaningful time or just adds another system to manage.
