IDBS External Editor Integration 22.8

IDBS External Editor Integration connects content stored in your IDBS environment with the desktop editors your teams already use. It enables round‑trip editing while preserving traceability, permissions, and version history, so users can work in familiar tools without compromising data integrity or governance.

Key capabilities:

• Open files directly from an IDBS record into an external editor
• Automatic check‑out/check‑in and seamless save‑back to the source record
• File locking and conflict detection to prevent overwrites
• Versioning and audit logging to maintain a clear change history
• Configurable file‑type associations, templates, and metadata capture
• Admin controls to enforce policies and respect user permissions
• Broad support for common file types used across scientific and R&D workflows

Ideal for R&D and QA/QC teams that need to create or edit documents, analyses, or specialized content in native desktop tools while keeping everything centralized, searchable, and compliant within their IDBS platform.

IDBS External Editor Integration is developed by IDBS. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 10.4, 10.5, 21.1, 22.4 and 22.8.
