Core capabilities and add-ons.

Core capabilities are included with Monarch EDRMS. Add-on capabilities extend it when you need them.

Core

Convert to PDF

Convert documents to PDF directly in SharePoint, without extra software, so files are simpler to share, print and store.

  • Convert a single file or many at once
  • Metadata and retention settings stay with the new PDF
Core

Secure and lock files

Lock important documents when needed. Locked files cannot be edited, shared or changed until they are unlocked again.
