System and method for document management using branching

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by the one or more processors, a branch model associated with a set of related documents, the branch model comprising one or more branches, each branch of the one or more branches comprising a branch type and one or more nodes, the one or more branches comprising a primary branch associated with a primary document, the set of related documents comprising the primary document having a first document identifier;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a secondary branch based upon a revision of the primary document, the secondary branch associated with a secondary document of the set of related documents, the secondary document having a second document identifier, the second document identifier being different from the first document identifier;
• adding, by the one or more processors, the secondary branch to the branch model;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, an input associated with the secondary document from a reviewer;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a first node, the first node associated with a document revision of the secondary document incorporating the input;
• and
• adding, by the one or more processors, the first node to the secondary branch,
• wherein generating a secondary branch based upon a revision of the primary document comprises:
• identifying a node in the primary branch associated with the revision of the primary document;
• and
• linking the secondary branch to the node in the primary branch.
