Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/documenso/documenso/issues/294

I am currently signing a couple of individual legal entities in a larger deal. We have a deal room (signing 35+ documents with DocuSign) in Nextcloud and I have so much communication overhead for every change we make. Having a git for contracts to be signed would make the process so much smoother. Right now I do the changes in the next cloud and write a change log via e-mail. Ultimately, the customer still needs to trust me that these are the only changes I made. Of course, I could use the version control of Microsoft, but that adds a lot of complexity to it.

Open signing infrastructure could handle the whole process end to end. In more complex mid-market and enterprise deals, negotiations are also a huge part of the Deal UX.

This would be a HUGE boost to workflows.

Most "Legal teams" would rather use docx, so export/import parse of docx would still be needed. The files are encoded in xml and meta-data can be parsed from them.

Having an audit log, version history, and notifications of changes would remove a significant amount of overhead in the process.

Could be interested with working on this in the future, right now bit busy. Found Pandiff library (well, more of a "CLI wrapper") built on top of Pandoc which possibly could be used for this. This would support pretty much most of the document formats available from Markdown to wikitext 😄

Is running CLI-commands in the background fine for these kind of operations, probably yes? The library will probably need use-case specific modifications. Pandoc seems to support reading documents from a file, URL or from stdin, which would be preferable?
