Generating and managing a knowledge database

A method for maintaining document continuity, the method comprising:

• presenting, on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device, a first selectable icon of a first version of a document in a knowledge database, a second selectable icon of a second version of the document in the knowledge database, a third selectable icon of a third version of the document in the knowledge database, and a fourth selectable icon of a first business decision made using the second version of the document;
• receiving a first selection of the first selectable icon;
• presenting, on the GUI and based on the first selection, the first version of the document, wherein the first version is only accessible via the first selection;
• receiving a second selection of the third selectable icon;
• responsive to the second selection, identifying whether supporting documentation associated with a second business decision exists for the third version of the document;
• responsive to the supporting documentation not existing, generating new supporting documentation for the third version of the document by identifying a user that has previously accessed the third version;
• linking the new supporting documentation to the third version of the document;
• and
• presenting, on the GUI, the new supporting documentation associated with the second business decision.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• presenting, on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a display, a first selectable icon of a first version of a document in a knowledge database, a second selectable icon of a second version of the document in the knowledge database, a third selectable icon of a third version of the document in the knowledge database, and a fourth selectable icon of a first business decision made using the second version of the document;
• receiving a first selection of the first selectable icon;
• presenting, on the GUI and based on the first selection, the first version of the document, wherein the first version is only accessible via the first selection;
• receiving a second selection of the third selectable icon;
• responsive to the second selection, identifying whether supporting documentation associated with a second business decision exists for the third version of the document;
• responsive to the supporting documentation not existing, generating new supporting documentation for the third version of the document by identifying a user that has previously accessed the third version and using previous business decisions;
• linking the new supporting documentation to the third version of the document;
• and
• presenting, on the GUI, the new supporting documentation associated with the second business decision.
