Can someone read a UD without installing an app?
A BrowserCarrier can open in a normal browser; raw UDR and UDS files can also use the free reader.

Give agents an authoritative document-state layer.
Agents can reason over explicit current state, lineage, permissions and evidence instead of arbitrary file dumps.
The simple model
UDR while the document is changing. UDS when the exact selected state matters. BrowserCarrier versions can be opened in a normal browser.
Start small
Pick one document family and one measurable problem. Keep existing required formats and systems in place while you test whether explicit state, lineage and browser-readable delivery make the workflow clearer.
Questions that may matter in this workflow
How do I migrate thousands of PDFs safely?
Inventory, sample, preserve originals, convert in stages, surface exceptions and reconcile each source.
Read answer →How do I know which document is current?
Model supersession and current-state relationships explicitly rather than relying on filename recency.

Records managers
Keep retention, supersession and lineage visible.

Use UDR while documents are changing and UDS when the exact final state matters.
See workflow →Litigators
Keep evidence and document states distinguishable instead of flattening everything into filenames.
