Document control VS Document management

ISO 9000:2015 does not define neither document control nor document management. So, there is no authoritative answer. Some people may use those two terms interchangeably.

Commonly the use of “document management” is related with the storage and indexing of documents for easy access. Quality management systems traditionally use “document control” related with storage and indexing of documents for easy access but also security, intellectual property protection, version control, availability and authority for approval.
